Determining Lithium Content by the Composition by Difference Method

Lithium (Li)-ion batteries have been adopted for a wide range of energy storage applications due to their outstanding energy density and low mass compared to other technologies. However, there remains considerable scope for energy capacity and efficiency improvements by optimizing devices and materials used in their construction. In particular, microstructural and compositional analysis has proven challenging at the micro- and nano-scales with structure evolution and degradation mechanisms due to lack of understooding at these length scales.

Context matters: Cryo-ET reveals the impact of the cellular environment on nuclear pore complex

In this webinar, Anthony Schuller, Ph.D. from UC Berkeley, will present his findings on cryo-electron tomography of the human nuclear pore complex in the native environment.

Cryo EM reveals mechanisms of gating and drug modulation in 5 HT3A receptors webinar

The serotonin 5-HT3 receptor antagonists or 'setrons' are the most common therapeutics to manage the side effects of chemotherapy and IBS. This webinar explored the single-particle cryo-electron microscopy research of Dr. Sudha Chakrapani, Director of Cryo Electron Microscopy Core, and the Cleveland Center for Membrane and Structural Biology. Results were presented of recently solved structures of the full-length 5HT3AR in the resting state, in serotonin-activated conformations, and in complex with several clinically used drugs.

Utilization of low voltage electron diffraction at high speed to solve practical materials problems

This webinar shows examples of low-voltage, high-speed electron diffraction experiments using the Gatan Stela, a detector with a high-dynamic range, based on DECTRIS' fast hybrid-pixel technology, to study subtle structural changes.

High-resolution with the CryoARM/K3 combo: SerialEM, Latitude, and future data collection

Recent results have demonstrated the ability of the CryoARM/K3 combination to produce structures at ultra-high resolution for particles of various sizes and symmetries. Following the initial technical achievements, this hardware combination is now being used to provide important biological insights as well. In this presentation, Alan Merk, Electron Microscopist from NIH, will review some of the structures we have obtained in the past with the CryoARM/K3 using SerialEM, report on ongoing work with Latitude S, and look forward to future directions.
