Abstract Transmission Electron Microscopes (TEM) have allowed giant steps in chemistry,
biology or physics. Many of these achievements were nourished by key instrumental …

An understanding of nanoscale energy transport and acoustic response is important for
applications of nanomaterials but hinges on a complete characterization of their structural …

We performed relativistic ultrafast electron diffraction (UED) measurements of the structural
dynamics of photoexcited gold nanofilms and developed an atomistic model, based on the …

Directly observing atomic motions in molecules during chemical dynamics has long
constituted one of the grand challenges in chemistry. 1 The emergence of X-ray free …

Phase-change materials (PCMs) represent the leading candidates for universal data storage
devices, which exploit the large difference in the physical properties of their transitional …

Single-phase concentrated solid–solution alloys exhibit enhanced mechanical
characteristics and radiation damage resistance, making them promising candidate …

The design and the characterization of functionalized gold nanoparticles supracrystals
require atomically resolved information on both the metallic core and the external organic …

For interaction of light with condensed-matter systems, we show with simulations that
ultrafast electron and X-ray diffraction can provide a time-dependent record of charge …

Since the early 20th century, X-ray and electron scattering has provided a powerful means
by which the location of atoms can be identified in gas-phase molecules and condensed …

Understanding laser-induced jumping has attracted great interest in nanomaterial launching
and transfer but requires a high spatiotemporal resolution visualization. Here, we report a …
