Real-Time X-Ray Fluorescence Targeting Accelerates Nanoscale Pollution Particle Characterization

Finding particles of interest in an air pollution particulate matter sample can be harder than finding a needle in a haystack. It's a time-consuming process that requires scientists to manually locate and scan thousands of microscopic particles across a large sample area, often taking several days.

Terahertz Nanoscopy Reveals How Ultrafast In-Plane Spin-Driven Currents Become Visible

Researchers used spatiotemporal terahertz emission nanoscopy to map the electromagnetic signatures of ultrafast spin-driven charge currents in a fiber-coupled spintronic terahertz emitter with femtosecond temporal resolution and nanoscale spatial sensitivity. The study shows how localized in-plane currents produce detectable out-of-plane electric fields, clarifying how near-field terahertz measurements can probe ultrafast spin-to-charge transport.

X-ray Microscopy Reveals Distinct Nanoparticle Responses To Vortex Flow

Researchers combined millisecond-resolution small-angle X-ray scattering microscopy with polarized light imaging to track nanoscale particle orientation and macroscopic Taylor–Couette flow across seven orders of magnitude in length scale. The experiments showed that platelet-like graphene oxide largely tracked the macroscopic vortex motion, while rod-like cellulose nanocrystals displayed much faster orientational behavior linked to vortex turnover.

Nanoscale Fluorapatite Structure Makes Deep-Sea Rare Earths Easier to Extract

Researchers found that deep-sea carbonate fluorapatite comprises apatite nanocrystals embedded within an amorphous matrix that primarily hosts samarium, used as a probe for rare earth elements. This disordered nanoarchitecture helps explain why rare earth elements can be readily extracted by acid leaching despite fluorapatite’s low solubility.
