TL;DR: It is suggested that carbon nanotube growth is governed by the catalyst surface without the necessity of catalyst liquefaction.

TL;DR: It is shown that a long narrow ferromagnetic rod induces a phase shift in the wave-function of passing electrons that approximately describes a helix in the regions near its ends, which could be a simple means of enhancing contrast and gaining additional information from TEM imaged weak phase samples, while also offering the capability to produce vortex beam probes.

TL;DR: Carbon nanotube double quantum dots, whose shell-like electronic structure is reminiscent of that of a simple molecule, provide a useful system to study the interaction of just a few electrons at a time.

TL;DR: In this article, advanced scanning transmission electron microscopy techniques are used to image the atomic structure at the interface between 2D MoS2 and 3D Au nanoislands, revealing a moire superlattice and illustrating the potential for (to-)electronic moire engineering at the 2D/3D interface.

TL;DR: In this paper, a directed self-assembly approach to low dispersity dendritic micelles with a high degree of structural perfection and tailorable branch numbers and generations is described.
