New Microscope to Study Optical Properties of Individual Nanoparticles

Nanomaterials play an essential role in many areas of daily life. There is thus a large interest to gain detailed knowledge about their optical and electronic properties. Conventional microscopes get beyond their limits when particle size falls to the range of a few ten nanometers where a single particle provides only a vanishingly small signal.

New Method to See Inside Supercapacitors at the Atomic Level

Researchers from the University of Cambridge, together with French collaborators based in Toulouse, have developed a new method to see inside battery-like devices known as supercapacitors at the atomic level. The new method could be used in order to optimise and improve the devices for real-world applications, including electric cars, where they can be used alongside batteries to enhance a vehicle’s performance.

LCTEM Technique Helps Observe Growth of Complex Nanoscale Materials in Real Time

Researchers have developed a new technique that helps in observing the growth of complex, self-assembled chemical nanostructures in real time. This latest breakthrough makes it possible to document nanoscale processes that occur in liquids down to one-billionth of a meter, and will also promote many future developments in nanotechnology. The study was a collaborative effort of researchers from Florida State University, UC San Diego, and Pacific Northwest National Laboratory. It has been described in a paper published online in the Journal of the American Chemical Society.
