In-Situ TEM Heating In Atmospheric Pressure Gas
Kirkendahl Effect in Co Nanoparticles Researchers at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory and Hummingbird Scientific have directly images the process of Co nanoparticle oxidation and reformation as Co is heated to 250°C and 350°C respectively using a Hummingbird Scientific In-situ Environmental Cell Gas TEM holder. This study shows the specific morphological changes that occur during these processes, shedding light on the understanding…[Read More]
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]
