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 …

All solid materials are created via nucleation. In this evolutionary process, nuclei form in
solution or at interfaces, expand by monomeric growth and oriented attachment, and …

Graphene liquid cell electron microscopy (GLC-EM), a cutting-edge liquid-phase EM
technique, has become a powerful tool to directly visualize wet biological samples and the …

Liquid-phase electron microscopy (LP-EM) imaging has revolutionized our understanding of
nanosynthesis and assembly. However, the current closed geometry limits its application for …

Liquid phase (also called “liquid cell”) transmission electron microscopy (TEM) is a powerful
platform for nanoscale imaging and characterization of physical and chemical processes of …

Nanotechnology-based synthesis of nanoscale materials has appealed to the attention of
scientists in the modern scientific community. In the bottom-up approach, atoms start to …

A century ago, Hermann Staudinger proposed the macromolecular theory of polymers, and
now, as we enter the second century of polymer science, we face a different set of …

Liquid-phase transmission electron microscopy (LPTEM) is a powerful in situ visualization
technique for directly characterizing nanomaterials in the liquid state. Despite its successful …

Depletion‐induced self‐assembly is routinely used to separate plasmonic nanoparticles
(NPs) of different shapes, but less often for its ability to create supercrystals (SCs) in …

With the persistent downscaling of integrated circuits, molybdenum (Mo) is currently
considered a potential replacement for copper (Cu) as a material for metal interconnects …
