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 …

The isolation of graphene in 2004 from graphite was a defining moment for the “birth” of a
field: two-dimensional (2D) materials. In recent years, there has been a rapidly increasing …

Lithium-ion batteries, simply known as lithium batteries, are distinct among high energy
density charge-storage devices. The power delivery of batteries depends upon the …

Fast, cheap, and reliable DNA sequencing could be one of the most disruptive innovations
of this decade, as it will pave the way for personalized medicine. In pursuit of such …

Background Nanoparticle biosensors have the potential to enhance or supersede current
analytical techniques, and their introduction could have a great impact in research and …

BACKGROUND Transmission electron microscopy offers structural and compositional
information with atomic resolution, but its use is restricted to thin, solid samples. Liquid …

Catalysts are the primary facilitator in many dynamic processes. Therefore, a thorough
understanding of these processes has vast implications for a myriad of energy systems. The …

Nature employs a variety of tactics to precisely time and execute the processes and
mechanics of life, relying on sequential sense and response cascades to transduce …

Knowledge about the synthesis, growth mechanisms, and physical properties of colloidal
nanoparticles has been limited by technical impediments. We introduce a method for …

Recent dramatic progress in studying various two-dimensional (2D) atomic crystals and their
heterostructures calls for better and more detailed understanding of their crystallography …
