A new invention could significantly improve electron microscopy by integrating a small quantum computer directly into the microscope. For delicate samples such as individual proteins, electron microscopy faces a fundamental tradeoff. Producing a clearer image generally requires sending more electrons through the specimen, but increasing the dose also raises the risk of damaging the very [...]
