The potential use of nickel in new nanomaterials and as a low-cost catalyst in chemical reactions serving a range of industrial processes has been held back by a limited understanding of fundamental ...

High temperature microscopy is the use of microscopy techniques on samples at high temperatures. Often, this means the microscopy instrumentation needs to be specifically designed to cope with the ...

UB-HWI offers a range of Structural Services to academic and industrial partners including single-particle cryo-EM, microcrystal-electron diffraction, and crystallization screening. Our philosophy is ...

The new cell-free protein crystallization (CFPC) method developed by Tokyo Tech includes direct protein crystallization and is a major headway in the field of structural biology. This technique will ...

Researchers have studied the kinetic and thermodynamic processes of sugar crystallization in the making of fondant. They combine a controlled kneading machine with light microscopy to precisely ...

Salt creeping, a phenomenon that occurs in both natural and industrial processes, describes the collection and migration of salt crystals from evaporating solutions onto surfaces. Once they start ...

Few standard optical microscopy methods can achieve the same level of spatial resolution, which is essential for being able to resolve geometric and structural features on the nanometer length scale.
