Making Sci-Fi a Reality - Innovators

The video discusses the potential of turning science fiction technology into reality, focusing on molecular structure analysis. David Aguard, a biophysics and biochemistry professor, explains the importance of understanding molecular structures for biological functions. The NSF grant aims to develop advanced electron microscopy technology through collaboration between UCSF, Lawrence Berkeley National Labs, and Gatan Incorporated. This technology could revolutionize data collection and have significant applications in pharmaceuticals, particularly in drug discovery.
