Good news!
"Over the past decade, cryo-electron microscopy (cryoEM) has emerged as a powerful tool for determining the detailed structures of complex molecules. Now, a new design from researchers ... could slash the cost of cryoEM by 90 percent. This could bring structural studies in biology and material science within reach of researchers who must currently send their samples out to regional centers or colleagues at wealthier organizations. ...
Nature Methods named cryoEM its “2015 Method of the Year.’’ The 2017 Nobel Prize in Chemistry ... CryoEM applications have exploded in the years since. ..."
"... Current state-of-the-art microscopes now cost several million pounds, precluding many researchers and institutes from using the beneficial approach and ultimately slowing down progress towards molecular discoveries. ..."
