This review highlights recent efforts on applying electron microscopy (EM) to soft (including
biological) nanomaterials. We will show how developments of both the hardware and …

Single atom catalysis (SAC) is a recent discipline of heterogeneous catalysis for which a
single atom on a surface is able to carry out various catalytic reactions. A kind of revolution …

One of the attractive properties of the hollow carbon clusters, known as fullerenes, is the
possibility to use them as robust containers for other species. Although an IUPAC …

The aberration-corrected scanning transmission electron microscope (STEM) has emerged
as a key tool for atomic resolution characterization of materials, allowing the use of imaging …

Synthesis of molecular compounds with metal–metal bonds between 4f elements is
recognized as one of the fascinating milestones in lanthanide metallochemistry. The main …

Coal fly ash is found to be one of the key pollutants worldwide due to its toxic heavy metal
content. However, due to advancements in technology, coal fly ash has gained importance …

Precise control of graphene properties is an essential step toward the realization of future
graphene devices. Defects, such as individual nitrogen atoms, can strongly influence the …

The development of patterning materials (“resists”) at the nanoscale involves two distinct
trends: one is toward high sensitivity and resolution for miniaturization, the other aims at …

In recent years, experimental techniques have enabled the creation of ultracold optical
lattices of molecules and endofullerene peapod nanomolecular assemblies. It was …

The reported actinide-based endohedral clusterfullerenes (ECFs) are rather scarce thus far.
Though several members have been detected in mass spectra, their exact structures and …
