Light-Emitting Nanoparticles Could Provide a Safer Way to Image Living Cells

Image - Light emitted by nanoparticles injected into the mammary fat pads of a live mouse is imaged through several millimeters of tissue. This sequence shows how the light emitted by these laser-excited particles can be imaged through deep tissue two hours after injection (left), four hours after injection (center), and six hours after injection (right).

Scientists ‘Squeeze’ Nanocrystals in a Liquid Droplet Into a Solid-Like State – and Back Again

Image sequence - Nanocrystals within a liquid droplet that is injected into an oily solution (left) are chemically compressed into a solid-like “jammed” 2D state (middle) – which causes wrinkles to form on the surface of the droplet – and then revert to a relaxed, liquid-like state (right) in which the wrinkles smooth out.

New Competition for MOFs: Scientists Make Stronger COFs

Image - At left is the simulated 3D molecular structure of a covalent organic framework, and at right is a modified framework. The yellow spheres in the structure on the left indicate a pore diameter of 2.9 nanometers, and the cyan spheres in the structure on the right indicate a pore diameter of 2.6 nanometers.
