CLAIRE brings electron microscopy to soft materials

Researchers have invented a technique called CLAIRE that extends the incredible resolution of electron microscopy to the noninvasive nanoscale imaging of soft matter, including biomolecules.

Intense lasers rapidly cook up complex, self-assembled nanomaterials

New technique makes self-assembly 1,000 times faster and could be used for industrial-scale solar panels and electronics.
