What looks like the microscopist’s version of the search for the needle in the haystack is in reality a scanning electron microscopy (SEM) image depicting several overlapping silver nanowires (AgNWs). These wires exhibit a diameter of roughly 35 nm and a length of several microns. The shown AgNW net...

This image reminds us on confetti, which fits to the carnival season! Every color represents a specific in-plane orientation of the nano-crystallites. This orientation mapping of AlN crystallites was acquired with 4D-STEM, an advanced technique collecting the electron diffraction patterns at each p...

Even though there is not enough snow surrounding us in nature, we at least have an image that reminds us of snowflakes. These “snowflakes” are dendritic silver patches synthesized in the group of Prof. Robin Klupp Taylor, Institute of Particle Technology. The image was acquired using the scanning t...

The formidable years ever since the pandemic has greatly affected the extent of academic exchange and driven us towards a new culture of online discussions. Despite many virtual events successfully held, few of them served as a platform for early career researchers and brought a broader community be...
