TL;DR: The perimeter of the metal/oxide interface is shown to affect CO tolerance of the entire particle, demonstrating a long-range effect over micrometre length scales.

TL;DR: An improved methodology of the Zr specimen preparation was developed which allows fabrication of stable Zr nanotips suitable for FIM and AP applications and the sole suboxide layer has been observed for the first time at very early states of the oxidation.

TL;DR: A simplified reaction model is proposed where the resist undergoes sequential chemical reactions, first yielding a sparsely cross-linked network, then a more densely cross- linked network, and this model is consistent with the observed EUV-sensitivity of tin-oxo cages.

TL;DR: The direct observation of the heterogeneity of active polycrystalline surfaces under reaction conditions is reported, manifested by multifrequential oscillations during hydrogen oxidation over rhodium, imaged in situ by photoemission electron microscopy.

TL;DR: It is found that both photons and electrons can induce a solubility switch of both PbS and CdSe quantum dot films, which is ascribed to cross-linking of the organic ligands.
