Protein Science has recently published a Special Issue on Cryo-Electron Microscopy (Cryo-EM) guest edited by Georgios Skiniotis at the University of Michigan Medical School Department of Biological Chemistry.
Manipulating Light with Magnetic Bacteria
Magnetic bacteria devices can manipulate light similar to liquid crystals in display and spatial light modulator technology.
Supercritical Lens Improves Optical Resolution at a Distance
Minghui Hong and colleagues report super-critical-lens (SCL) optical label‐free microscopy, which clearly distinguishes a pattern with a feature size of 65 nm in air and with a 55 μm working distance.
Hot Electrons Racing through Gold Nanoantennas
Hot electron injection within hybrid metal–transition metal dichalcogenides systems is analyzed and offers new physical insights into enhancement of optoelectronic activity with nanoantennas.
Probing the Secret Life of RNA in Single Cells
Single-cell RNA analysis is now possible through innovative platforms combining state-of-the-art microscopy methods with various contrast-generating nanomaterials
Making 2D Barcodes Work Harder for Anticounterfeit Technology
Researchers from the University of British Columbia, Vancouver, believe that 2D barcodes can be made to work harder by fully exploiting the 3D information they actually contain.

Hot Stuff: Direct Ink Writing of Mesoscale Eutectic Architectures
Jennifer Lewis and colleagues report a new process for creating mesoscale eutectic architectures, known as high operating temperature direct ink writing (HOT‐DIW).
Let Disorder Shine
An uniaxial press can assemble monodisperse silica spheres to photonic glasses that exhibit finely tunable Mie scattering.
