Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) are widely considered the gold standard for nanoparticle characterization. However, choosing which to employ is a complex process as both techniques provide similar but distinct analysis.

Professor Kevin O'Grady, head of the Magnetic Materials Research Group at the University of York, talks to AZoNano about magneto-thermal heating effects in nanoparticles.
This article describes the range of graphene films on copper available from Graphenea. The copper substrates available include circular, square and rectangular units, in a variety of dimensions.
As nanotechnology continues to advance in almost every scientific field, its application in industry has been particularly valuable through the growing use of nanocomposites. A nanocomposite can be a one, two or three-dimensional matrix in which particles (<100 nm in size) have been added to improve a particular property of the material. The presence of these composite materials are able to reinfo

Erik Runge, Director of Engineering at Minus K Technology, talks to AZoNano about their low-frequency vibration isolation systems.
The European Science Foundation has defined nanomedicine as “the science and technology of diagnosing, treating and preventing disease and traumatic injury, of relieving pain, and of preserving and improving human health, using molecular tools and molecular knowledge of the human body.”

Significant ionic and neutral species, including CxFy (X>2), CxHFy, and CxFy (Y/X<2, have been reported by quadrupole mass-spectroscopy in the unique C5HF7/O2/Ar plasma.
James Baker, Business Director at the National Graphene Institute (NGI), talks to AZoNano about the successful commercialisation of graphene and the important role collaborative work between research and industry will play.
Mark Thompson, Managing Director or Talga Resources Limited, talks to AZoNano about their unique, simple and cost effective process to liberate graphene directly from its large high quality graphite ore deposits.
Technical processes like thin-film deposition, etching and surface modification extensively use plasma discharges. Hence, it is important to quantitatively characterize plasma sources for understanding plasma sources and technologically optimizing the process.
