A view into how nanoscale building blocks can rearrange into different organized structures on command is now possible with an approach that combines an electron microscope, a small sample holder with ...

Ghost imaging is like a game of Battleship. Instead of seeing an object directly, scientists use entangled photons to remove the background and reveal its silhouette. This method can be used to study ...

In-situ liquid-cell transmission electron microscopy electrodeposition of PtNi nanoparticle films on a carbon electrode during cyclic voltammetry. The electron beam (here in green color) illuminated ...

A research team from Seoul National University College of Engineering has developed a technology to observe atomic structural changes of nanoparticles in three dimensions. Their study, which resolves ...

A fundamental difficulty of working with nanoparticles is that your objects of study are too small for an optical microscope to resolve, and thus measuring their size can be quite a challenge. Of ...

What is Nanoparticle Tracking Analysis? Nanoparticle Tracking Analysis (NTA) is a powerful technique for characterizing nanoparticles in solution. It combines laser light scattering microscopy with a ...

Star-shaped vanadium hydroxide nanoparticles show that changing a material's shape from sheets to stars shifts its energy storage from battery-like to capacitor-like behavior. (Nanowerk News) When ...
