"Cryo-electron tomography allows our cells to be seen in 3D, making it possible to identify new proteins &
make new discoveries - but time consuming.

Affinity-VAE (using AI technology) - could improve the process & increase efficiency"

Quantum tunnelling may be common at the tiniest scales, but no one had ever observed the phenomenon in fluorine – the element was simply thought to be too heavy. Now, this accepted wisdom has been upended in new experiments that observe fluorine tunnelling
