They captured life in atomic detail

Jacques Dubochet, Joachim Frank and Richard Henderson are awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry
2017 for their development of an effective method for generating three-dimensional images of the
molecules of life. Using cryo-electron microscopy, researchers can now freeze biomolecules midmovement
and portray them at atomic resolution. This technology has taken biochemistry into a new era. … https://www.nobelprize.org/nobel_prizes/chemistry/laureates/2017/popular-chemistryprize2017.pdf
