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 …

The surface stability and resulting transmission of severe acute respiratory syndrome
coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), specifically in indoor environments, have been identified as a …

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 …

Abstract 2D transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) exhibit remarkable properties that are
strongly influenced by their atomic structures, as well as by various types of defects and …

In this work, we describe the radiolytic environment experienced by a polymer in water
during liquid-cell transmission electron microscopy (LCTEM). We examined the radiolytic …

Graphene liquid cell transmission electron microscopy is a powerful technique to visualize
nanoscale dynamics and transformations at atomic resolution. However, the solution in …

Liquid-phase transmission electron microscopy (LP-TEM) enables the real-time visualization
of nanoscale dynamics in solution. This technique has been used to study the formation and …

We directly initiate and visualize the formation of polymeric nanomaterials via variable-
temperature liquid-cell transmission electron microscopy (VT-LCTEM). With temperature …

Biotemplated syntheses have emerged as an efficient strategy to control the assembly of
metal nanoparticles (NPs) and generate promising plasmonic properties for sensing or …

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 …
