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 …

Classical nucleation and crystal growth theories describe how nuclei form, become stable
after reaching a critical size and then enlarge through monomer attachment. More than two …

To rationally design effective and stable catalysts for energy conversion applications, we
need to understand how they transform under reaction conditions and reveal their …

Heterogeneous catalysis in thermal gas-phase and electrochemical liquid-phase chemical
conversion plays an important role in our modern energy landscape. However, many of the …

The self-assembly of amphiphilic molecules in solution is a ubiquitous process in both
natural and synthetic systems. The ability to effectively control the structure and properties of …

Single atoms or ions on surfaces affect processes from nucleation to electrochemical
reactions and heterogeneous catalysis. Transmission electron microscopy is a leading …

Innovations in liquid‐phase electron microscopy (LP‐EM) have made it possible to perform
experiments at the optimized conditions needed to examine soft matter. The main obstacle is …

Molecular self-assembly is pervasive in the formation of living and synthetic materials.
Knowledge gained from research into the principles of molecular self-assembly drives …

Dealloying is involved in materials science responsible for fabrication of nanoscale
structures beneficially but for corrosion degradations detrimentally. Detailed understanding …

Solid–liquid–gas reactions are ubiquitous and are encountered in both nature and industrial
processes,,–. A comprehensive description of gas transport in liquid and following reactions …
