Researchers Develop Conditions for Self-Assembling Nano-Scale Honeycomb Structure

Nature contains a unique Lego brick, known as biological molecules or peptides. These peptides are built together to develop a variety of complex structures. In comparison to the commonly used toy bricks, the molecular building blocks are different as they are flexible, and are capable of bonding together using a wide range of mechanisms under appropriate conditions.

New Technique Could Directly View Nanoscale Objects with Mixture of Heavy and Light Materials

Electrons can extend our view of microscopic objects well beyond what’s possible with visible light—all the way to the atomic scale. A popular method in electron microscopy for looking at tough, resilient materials in atomic detail is called STEM, or scanning transmission electron microscopy, but the highly focused beam of electrons used in STEM can also easily destroy delicate samples.
