Researchers use extreme X-ray power to 'movie' myoglobin protein, resolving decades-old structure-function riddle. This breakthrough enables drug developers to design better drugs by understanding dynamic molecular interactions.
Researchers at ORNL have developed a technique that combines laser light with pharmaceutical agents to selectively kill breast cancer cells. The laser delivers photons to the target tissue, activating an ingested agent that disables DNA replication and halts tumor growth.
Duke University's OK-4 optical klystron FEL, developed in Russia, has begun operating at the institution, producing intense beams of gamma rays and ultraviolet laser light. The device is expected to be used for medical research and answering questions in nuclear physics.
The Zare lab's Microprobe Two-Step Laser Microscopy technique detects organic molecules in meteorites, revealing interplanetary and interstellar origins. The method eliminates contamination sources, enabling precise analysis of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and other compounds.
