On the line: Watching nanoparticles get in shape
New method could advance next-generation applications in medicine, cosmetics, and petroleum recovery
26-Feb-2021
Liquid structures - liquid droplets that maintain a specific shape - are useful for a variety of applications, from food processing to cosmetics, medicine, and even petroleum extraction, but researchers have yet to tap into these exciting new materials' full potential because not much is known ...
New molecular blueprint advances our understanding of photosynthesis
Shedding light on the process by which plants convert carbon dioxide into sugar
19-Feb-2019
Researchers at the Department of Energy's Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) have used one of the most advanced microscopes in the world to reveal the structure of a large protein complex crucial to photosynthesis, the process by which plants convert sunlight into cellular ...
New Competition for MOFs: Scientists Make Stronger COFs
Researchers find a way to better 'weld' covalent organic frameworks together
06-Aug-2018
Hollow molecular structures known as COFs (covalent organic frameworks), which could serve as selective filters or containers for other substances and have many other potential uses, also tend to suffer from an inherent problem: It's difficult to keep a network of COFs connected in harsh chemical ...
Splitting water: Nanoscale imaging yields key insights
20-Jul-2018
In the quest to realize artificial photosynthesis to convert sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide into fuel - just as plants do - researchers need to not only identify materials to efficiently perform photoelectrochemical water splitting, but also to understand why a certain material may or may ...
Making polymer chemistry 'click'
26-Jul-2017
A team of researchers has developed a faster and easier way to make sulfur-containing polymers that will lower the cost of large-scale production. The achievement opens the door to creating new products from this class of polymers while producing far less hazardous waste. The researchers' ...
Printing nanoscale imaging probe onto tip of optical fiber
15-May-2017
Combining speed with incredible precision, a team of researchers has developed a way to print a nanoscale imaging probe onto the tip of a glass fiber as thin as a human hair, accelerating the production of the promising new device from several per month to several per day. The high-throughput ...
Glowing crystals can detect, cleanse contaminated drinking water
30-Nov-2016
Tiny, glowing crystals designed to detect and capture heavy-metal toxins such as lead and mercury could prove to be a powerful new tool in locating and cleaning up contaminated water sources. Motivated by publicized cases in which high levels of heavy metals were found in drinking water in Flint, ...
Crystal clear imaging
Infrared brings to light nanoscale molecular arrangement
17-Oct-2016
Detailing the molecular makeup of materials -- from solar cells to organic light-emitting diodes (LEDs) and transistors, and medically important proteins -- is not always a crystal-clear process. To understand how materials work at these microscopic scales, and to better design materials to ...
Nanoscale tetrapods could provide early warning of a material’s failure
Scientists developing a new way to detect microscopic fractures in materials in the field
20-Sep-2016
Light-emitting, four-armed nanocrystals could someday form the basis of an early warning system in structural materials by revealing microscopic cracks that portend failure, thanks to recent research by scientists from the U.S. Department of Energy’s Lawrence Berkeley National ...
New discovery could better predict how semiconductors weather abuse
07-Jul-2016
Mimicking nature is not easy, but new insights by researchers at the Department of Energy's Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) could help create a viable artificial system of photosynthesis. One of the major challenges for scientists working to create systems that efficiently ...
