Next-generation chemical mapping on the nanoscale

Tuesday, March 29, 2011 - 12:20 in Physics & Chemistry

A pixel is worth a thousand words? Not exactly how the saying goes, but in this case, it holds true: scientists at Berkeley Lab's Molecular Foundry have pioneered a new chemical mapping method that provides unprecedented insight into materials at the nanoscale. Moving beyond traditional static imaging techniques, which provide a snapshot in time, these new maps will guide researchers in deciphering molecular chemistry and interactions at the nanoscale - critical for artificial photosynthesis, biofuels production and light-harvesting applications such as solar cells...
