The College of Chemistry has received a new state-of-the-art EVO LS 15 scanning electron microscope (SEM) provided by ZEISS in support of the instructional physical chemistry labs....
A team at the Department of Energy’s Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory has designed a new kind of nano scale electron detector that captures all of the information in these interactions. This new tool, a superfast detector was installed on Feb. 12 at Berkeley Lab’s Molecular Foundry, a nanoscale science user facility where College of Chemistry faculty regularly carry out experiments. The new device will capture more images at a faster rate, revealing atomic-scale details across much larger areas than was possible before.
In the current issue of the journal Cell Reports, Ke Xu and his colleagues at UC Berkeley use the technique to provide a sharp view of the geodesic mesh that supports the outer membrane of a red blood cell, revealing why such cells are sturdy yet flexible enough to squeeze through narrow capillaries as they carry oxygen to our tissues.
