Nanoparticles go platinum: NCEM instruments provide key images (PhysOrg)
At Berkeley Lab’s National Center for Electron Microscopy it was revealed that single-stranded DNA can disperse bundles of single-walled carbon nanotubes into individual tubes and serve as guideposts for synthesizing platinum nanoparticles onto these tubes.

Novel Techniques for In-Situ Nanomechanical Testing in the Electron Microscope (materialstoday)
The combination of traditional nanomechanical test instruments with complementary techniques has generated innovative ways to characterize nanoscale materials. In particular, simultaneously pairing the high sensitivity of nanoindentation with the high spatial resolution of electron microscopy creates a powerful tool for studying nanoscale structures which are often difficult to test because of … (read on…) Related items Nanoscale... »
