- Buckyball sandwichesThe study of molecules via transmission electron microscopy is extremely challenging, because they tend to break apart under the intense electron irradiation required for imaging. In our recently published study,…
- “Weighing” atoms with electronsThe chemical properties of atoms depend on the number of protons in their nuclei, placing them into the periodic table. However, even chemically identical atoms can have different masses –…
- Observing the random diffusion of missing atoms in grapheneImperfections in the regular atomic arrangements in crystals determine many of the properties of the material, and their diffusion is behind many microstructural changes in solids. However, imaging non-repeating atomic…
