Understanding Biomineral Nucleation in CaCO3
Living organisms typically form hard structures by using macromolecular scaffolds as a template to direct the crystallization of biominerals such as calcium carbonate (CaCO3). Understanding these mechanisms can help us develop new strategies for materials synthesis. Using a suite of techniques, including TEM, Nielsen et al. were able to observe, in situ, crystal nucleation and growth in solution at the nanometer scale and video rates. This…[Read More]
Liquid EELS in TEM
Researchers at UC Davis, Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory and Pacific Northwest National Laboratory worked with a continuous flow in-situ liquid stage developed by Hummingbird Scientific to obtain electron energy loss spectroscopy (EELS) spectra from nano-particles in colloidal suspension using aberration-corrected scanning transmission electron microscopy (STEM). They show that EELS can be used to quantify the fluid path length around the…[Read More]
