Progress in nanotechnology is enabled by and dependent on the availability of
measurement methods with spatial resolution commensurate with nanomaterials' length …

Conspectus Gold nanoparticles owe a large number of their properties to their ligand shell.
Indeed, many researchers routinely use mixtures of ligand molecules for their nanoparticles …

Controlling the structure of colloidal nanocrystals (NCs) is key to the generation of their
complex functionality. This requires an understanding of the NC surface at the atomic level …

Nanoscale objects are typically internalized by cells into membrane-bounded endosomes
and fail to access the cytosolic cell machinery. Whereas some biomacromolecules may …

Gold nanorods have garnered a great deal of scientific interest because of their unique
optical properties, and they have the potential to greatly impact many areas of science and …

The gold–sulphur interface of self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) was extensively studied
some time ago. More recently tremendous progress has been made in the preparation and …

Intact molecular ions of the organothiolate-protected nanoparticle Au25 (SCH2CH2Ph) 18,
including their isotopic resolution, can be observed at 7391 Da as 1− and 1+ ions in …

Photothermal induced resonance (PTIR) has recently attracted great interest for enabling
chemical identification and imaging with nanoscale resolution. In this work, electron beam …

We perform atomistic and mesoscale simulations to explain the origin of experimentally
observed stripelike patterns formed by immiscible ligands coadsorbed on the surfaces of …

It is accepted that the ligand shell morphology of nanoparticles coated with a monolayer of
molecules can be partly responsible for important properties such as cell membrane …
