This week's episode of RAZOR examines a microscopy resolution revolution, the SARS-CoV-2 virus in animal populations and a solar plane attempting to reach the stratosphere.
Cryogenic Electron Microscopy, a technique for imaging biological molecules, has recently broken resolution records to enable visualization of the individual atoms that make up proteins for the first time. Frankie McCamley visits the MRC Laboratory of Molecular Biology in Cambridge to find out mo...
Ageing and illness are seen as inescapable facts as cells in our body malfunction and die over the passage of time. But this may not be inevitable.
Scientists in the ageing field have started to look at the role of mitochondria, the battery pack of every living cell. Shini Somara is at UCL to fi...
