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 …

During continuous innovation in the preparation, characterization and application of various
bone repair materials for several decades, nanomaterials have exhibited many unique …

Graphene oxide and its derivatives have lately been the subject of increased attention in the
field of bioscience and biotechnology. In this article, we report on the use of graphene oxide …

Chirality plays an important role in the fields of chemistry, pharmacology, biology and
medicine. Recently, chirality has also been envisaged to play an important role in …

Amorphous carbon films have been routinely used to enhance the preparation of frozen-
hydrated samples for transmission electron microscopy (TEM), either in retaining protein …

In electron microscopy (EM), charging of non-conductive biological samples by focused
electron beams hinders their high-resolution imaging. Gold or platinum coatings have been …

A disordered to β-sheet transition was thought to drive the functional switch of Q/N-rich
prions, similar to pathogenic amyloids. However, recent evidence indicates a critical role for …

While graphene may appear to be the ultimate support membrane for transmission electron
microscopy (TEM) imaging of DNA nanostructures, very little is known if it poses an …

This paper provides a brief review on electron microscopic studies of carbon materials. We
discuss all aspects ranging from sample preparation via basics of the structure and its …

Applications of graphene sheets in the fields of biosensors and biomedical devices are
limited by the aqueous solubility of graphene. Consequently, understanding the role of water …
