• Imaging methodology reveals nano details not seen before
  

  A team of scientists from the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) and Northwestern University has produced 3-D images and videos of a tiny platinum nanoparticle at atomic resolution that reveal new details of defects in nanomaterials that have not been seen before. Prior to this work, scien more

• The role of ink viscosity in dip-pen lithography

  Scientists have investigated how the flow of block co-polymer inks from the tip of an AFM probe is affected by the ink’s viscosity. The size of the ink features was found to increase with dwell time and decrease with ink viscosity. The technique, known as dip-pen nanolithography, was originally deve more

• Porous organic polymers filter toxins from the air

  In a search for the next generation of filtration materials, for use in devices such as gas masks, a group of US scientists has synthesised a series of porous organic polymers (POPs) bearing metal-catecholate groups. By changing the molecular building blocks the researchers were able to tailor the m more
