Nanocrystals offer a unique platform for tailoring the physicochemical properties of solid
materials to enhance their performances in various applications. While most work on …

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 …

Achieving mastery over the synthesis of metal nanocrystals has emerged as one of the
foremost scientific endeavors in recent years. This intense interest stems from the fact that …

Nucleation in atomic crystallization remains poorly understood, despite advances in
classical nucleation theory. The nucleation process has been described to involve a …

Seed‐mediated growth is a powerful and versatile approach for the synthesis of colloidal
metal nanocrystals. The vast allure of this approach mainly stems from the staggering …

Natural and synthetic nanoparticles composed of fivefold twinned crystal domains have
distinct properties. The formation mechanism of these fivefold twinned nanoparticles is …

The structure of citrate adlayers on gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) was investigated. Infrared
(IR) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) analyses indicate citrate anions are …

Nanoparticles can be beautiful, as in stained glass windows, or they can be ugly as in wear
and corrosion debris from implants. We estimate that there will be about 70 000 papers in …

Transmission electron microscopy is a powerful imaging tool that has found broad
application in materials science, nanoscience and biology,,. With the introduction of …
