Some key applications of gold nanoparticles include photonics, medicine and catalysis. 3 Gold nanoparticles have a high absorption cross-section in the visible and infrared regions, which can be tuned ...

A comparison of experimental annular dark field (ADF)-scanning transmission electron microscopy (STEM) and electron ptychography in uncorrected and aberration-corrected electron microscopes. In the ...

Working on the nanoscale for manufacturing poses some unique challenges. While many macroscale manufacturing methods such as lithography and additive manufacturing have been successfully translated ...

A new method uses gold to assemble multi-element nanoparticles under mild conditions, offering improvements in catalytic activity and long-term stability. (Nanowerk Spotlight) The drive to engineer ...

A £3 million electron microscope has arrived at the University of Oxford's Department of Materials. The microscope will support research across the university's departments and divisions. It was ...

Tiny gold “super atoms” could spark a quantum revolution New study shows how gold nanoclusters mimic key properties of the most accurate systems currently used in quantum applications and can even be ...

This is not an artist’s rendering, nor a physics simulation. This device held together with hardware-store MDF and eyebolts and connected to a breadboard, is taking pictures of actual atomic ...

Since the first transmission electron microscope was sold in 1935, microscopes that use electrons--rather than light waves--to image objects have brought into focus levels of detail that were ...

Scientists at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory made a big leap in their research into all things small. Within the past few months, scientists there began using what they say is the world’s most ...
