Traditional imaging systems exhibit a well-known trade-off between the resolution and the
field of view of their captured images. Typical cameras and microscopes can either “zoom in” …

In the last few years, electron microscopy has experienced a new methodological paradigm
aimed to fix the bottlenecks and overcome the challenges of its analytical workflow. Machine …

Surfactant-assisted seeded growth of metal nanoparticles (NPs) can be engineered to
produce anisotropic gold nanocrystals with high chiroptical activity through the templating …

We present the ASTRA Toolbox as an open platform for 3D image reconstruction in
tomography. Most of the software tools that are currently used in electron tomography offer …

Electron microscopy allows the extraction of multidimensional spatiotemporally correlated
structural information of diverse materials down to atomic resolution, which is essential for …

BACKGROUND To understand material properties and functionality at the most fundamental
level, one must know the three-dimensional (3D) positions of atoms with high precision. For …

Hydrophobic interactions constitute one of the most important types of nonspecific
interactions in biological systems, which emerge when water molecules rearrange as two …

The ability of metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) to gelate under specific synthetic conditions
opens up new opportunities in the preparation and shaping of hierarchically porous MOF …

It is widely accepted that the physical properties of nanostructures depend on the type of
surface facets,. For Au nanorods, the surface facets have a major influence on crucial effects …

Enriching the library of chiral plasmonic nanoparticles that can be chemically mass-
produced will greatly facilitate the applications of chiral plasmonics in areas ranging from …
