We discovered dislocations in the electrical double layer (EDL) in a room-temperature ionic liquid (RTIL) by direct 3D atomic force microscopy (AFM) imaging with molecular resolution.

Researchers have developed a process1 to make thermosets—plastics once stuck in their final forms due to cross-linking of chemical bonds—that can now be reshaped and reused.
A multimodal imaging platform was developed that, for the first time, provides co-registered topographic, nanomechanical, and chemical imaging information (via mass spectrometry) of a surface with submicron pixel size.
