Quantum at 100: Honoring achievement, envisioning tomorrow The Kavli Foundation celebrates the International Year of Quantum Science and Technology

At the nanoscale, new rules of matter reveal themselves. On #NanoDay, Kavli spotlights quantum materials research driving a “second quantum revolution” with potential to transform energy, computing & sensing. #KavliNano http://bit.ly/4nGapje

Many key cell structures are too thick for standard cryo-EM.
Now in Nature Methods: Kavli-trained nanoscientist Yue Yu & colleagues describe a technique that boosts contrast 5x in thick biological  samples, sharpening views of proteins, viruses & organelles.
