- nigms_nihProposed design for the 2018 World Cup soccer match ball? Nope. This image is actually an atomic-scale model of a virus (bacteriophage P22) that infects the Salmonella bacterium. Like a soccer ball, it combines hexagonal (six-sided) and pentagonal (five-sided) units.
Scientists used new computational methods to construct the model from more than 20,000 cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) images.
