Studying structure–activity correlations of electrocatalysts is essential for improving the
conversion of electrical to chemical energy. Recently, increasing evidence obtained by …

Synthetic chemists have developed robust methods to synthesize discrete molecules, linear
and branched polymers, and disordered cross-linked networks. However, two-dimensional …

Plasmonic nanomaterials have outstanding optoelectronic properties potentially enabling
the next generation of catalysts, sensors, lasers and photothermal devices. Owing to optical …

Nucleation and growth are two important and entwined processes in materials synthesis and
engineering. While understanding of the fundamental mechanisms of the processes remain …

Decades of nanotoxicology research have generated extensive and diverse data sets.
However, data is not equal to information. The question is how to extract critical information …

Catalysts are the primary facilitator in many dynamic processes. Therefore, a thorough
understanding of these processes has vast implications for a myriad of energy systems. The …

We explore the potential of nanocrystals (a term used equivalently to nanoparticles) as
building blocks for nanomaterials, and the current advances and open challenges for …

Nanoparticle assembly and attachment are common pathways of crystal growth by which
particles organize into larger scale materials with hierarchical structure and long-range …

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 …

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 …
