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 …

Abstract Two-dimensional materials (2D) with unique physicochemical properties have been
widely studied for their use in many applications, including as hydrogen evolution catalysts …

The ability of transmission electron microscopy (TEM) to image a structure ranging from
millimetres to Ångströms has made it an indispensable component of the toolkit of modern …

The extraordinary properties of biological materials often result from their sophisticated
hierarchical structures. Through multilevel and cross-scale structural designs, biological …

Advances in attosecond spectroscopy have enabled tracing and controlling the electron
motion dynamics in matter, although they have yielded insufficient information about the …

Femtosecond laser technology has attracted significant attention from the viewpoints of
fundamental and application; especially femtosecond laser processing materials present the …

Rare events are processes that occur upon the emergence of unlikely fluctuations. Unlike
what their name suggests, rare events are fairly ubiquitous in nature, as the occurrence of …

Nanoparticle photocatalysts present the obvious characteristic of heterogeneity in structure,
energy, and function at spatial and temporal scales. Understanding the nature of spatial …

The spatial and energy resolutions of state-of-the-art transmission electron microscopes
(TEMs) have surpassed 50 pm and 5 meV. However, with respect to the time domain, even …

The ability to study single particles has revolutionized nanoscience. The advantage of single
particle spectroscopy measurements compared to conventional ensemble studies is that …
