Two researchers posed to the right of a lab bench with various scientific instruments. Example of automated high-resolution imaging of core-shell nanoparticles A colorful schematic of an exciton surfing on a red and blue wave graph. A yellow and blue isometric view of molecules is below. The purple/blue solution contains crystals of the berkelocene “sandwich.” Silica nanoparticles affixed with a distribution of polystyrene chains (purple) self-assemble into hexagonal lattices. Depending on how the chains are organized on the particle surface, they tangle together (purple) or unravel (blue) when compressed. Dozens of droplets clustered together Roughly diamond-shaped asteroid with a rocky, uneven surface, set against a completely black background. Two researchers in blue coats and safety glasses look at an experimental setup. Elemental mapping of Pd/COF confirming uniform Pd distribution.
