Harnessing the optical properties of noble metals down to the nanometer-scale is a key step towards fast and low-dissipative information processing. At the 10-nm length scale, metal crystallinity and patterning as well as probing of surface…

Optimizing selective contact layers in photovoltaics is necessary to yield high performing stable devices. However, this has been difficult for perovskites due to their complex interfacial defects that affect carrier concentrations in the…

Two-dimensional (2D) materials have received considerable attention as possible electrodes in Li-ion batteries (LIBs), although a deeper understanding of the Li adsorption behavior as well as broad screening of the materials space is still…

Fluorescent latex beads have been widely used as tracers in microfluidics over for the last decades. They have the advantages to be density matched with water and to be easily localizable using fluorescence microscopy. We have recently…

We demonstrate a smooth and low loss silver (Ag) optical superlens capable of resolving features at 1/12th of the illumination wavelength with high fidelity. This is made possible by utilizing state-of-the-art nanoimprint technology and…

Gel electrophoresis, a widely used technique to separate DNA according to their size and weight, generates images that can be analyzed automatically. Manual or semiautomatic image processing presents a bottleneck for further development and…

Near surface silver nanoparticles embedded in silicon oxide were obtained by 40 keV silver negative ion implantation without the requirement of an annealing step. Ion beam induced local heating within the film leads to an exo-diffusion of…

Electron beam induced deposition (EBID) currently provides the only direct writing technique for truly three-dimensional nanostructures with geometrical features below 50 nm. Unfortunately, the depositions from metal-organic precursors…

Recently, great attention has been paid to the possibility of implementing hybrid electronic devices exploiting the self-assembling properties of single molecules. Impressive progress has been done in this field by using organic molecules…

We report the 3D structure determination of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) by X-ray single particle imaging (SPI). Around 10 million diffraction patterns from gold nanoparticles were measured in less than 100 hours of beam time, more than 100…

Electrochemical reduction is a promising way to make use of CO$_2$ as feedstock for generating renewable fuel and valuable chemicals. Several metals can be used in the electrocatalyst to generate CO and formic acid but hydrogen formation is…

Microscopy enables direct observation of cellular morphology in 3D, with transmitted-light methods offering low-cost, minimally invasive imaging and fluorescence microscopy providing specificity and contrast. Virtual staining combines these…

Electron paramagnetic resonance signal parameters of TEMPO dichlorotriazine and TEMPO maleimide spin labels attached to protein human serum albumin molecules have been monitored at various temperatures, salts and sucrose concentrations. The…

We report a study of the structure of droplets of colloidal gels containing dissolved sodium chloride. The components segregate and form intricate patterns. The salt crystalizes in fractal and multi-fractal dendritic forms which are…

Correlative light and electron microscopy promises to combine molecular specificity with nanoscale imaging resolution. However, there are substantial technical challenges including reliable co-registration of optical and electron images,…

In printed electronics, conductive traces are often produced by printing inks of silver nanoparticles dispersed in solvents. A sintering process is usually needed to make the printed inks conductive by removing the organic dispersants and…

Histochemical staining is essential for visualizing tissue architecture and cellular morphology but is destructive and limited by the availability of tissue for multiple stains. Virtual staining with label-free microscopy offers a…

Electrodeposition of tantalum coating was performed from an ionic liquid, BMP[Tf2N], in the presence of dissolved anhydrous TaF5 and LiF. Superficial X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy supplemented by an argon ion etching and depth profiling…

Electropolishing has found wide application as the final surface treatment of metal products in mechanical engineering and instrumentation, medicine and reflective concentrators for PV cells. It was found that electropolishing (EP) not only…

We report here on the ability of elastic light scattering in discriminating Gram+, Gram-and yeasts at an early stage of growth (6h). Our technique is non-invasive, low cost and does require neither skilled operators nor reagents. Therefore…
