First atomic-scale real-time movies of platinum nanocrystal growth in liquids

Thursday, April 19, 2012 - 15:30 in Physics & Chemistry

Researchers have developed a technique for encapsulating liquids of nanocrystals between layers of graphene so that chemical reactions in the liquids can be imaged with an electron microscope. With this technique, movies can be made that provide unprecedented direct observations of physical, chemical and biological phenomena that take place in liquids on the nanometer scale.
