A special collaboration can change how we see the universe.

In 2003, we joined Stanford & SLAC National Lab to launch KIPAC, helping make the Vera C. Rubin Observatory’s #LSST possible.

Now, LSST is about to map billions of galaxies. Learn more: https://bit.ly/4i2slSX

Many key cell structures are too thick for standard cryo-EM.
Now in Nature Methods: Kavli-trained nanoscientist Yue Yu & colleagues describe a technique that boosts contrast 5x in thick biological  samples, sharpening views of proteins, viruses & organelles.
