The potential use of nickel in new nanomaterials and as a low-cost catalyst in chemical reactions serving a range of industrial processes has been held back by a limited understanding of fundamental ...

High temperature microscopy is the use of microscopy techniques on samples at high temperatures. Often, this means the microscopy instrumentation needs to be specifically designed to cope with the ...

Mesmerizing videos offer a new look at the ways crystals form. The real-time clips, described March 30 in Nature Nanotechnology, show closeup views of microscopic gold particles tumbling, sliding and ...

UB-HWI offers a range of Structural Services to academic and industrial partners including single-particle cryo-EM, microcrystal-electron diffraction, and crystallization screening. Our philosophy is ...

Salt creeping, a phenomenon that occurs in both natural and industrial processes, describes the collection and migration of salt crystals from evaporating solutions onto surfaces. Once they start ...

Physicists in Leiden have built a microscope that can measure no fewer than four key properties of a material in a single scan, all with nanoscale precision. The instrument can even examine complete ...

The new cell-free protein crystallization (CFPC) method developed by Tokyo Tech includes direct protein crystallization and is a major headway in the field of structural biology. This technique will ...
