Engineering and direct imaging of nanocube self-assembly pathways

New Tuesday publication! In this publication featured in Nature, our #PoseidonSelect was used to look at crystals grown from high-energy precursors. Most of the time, these adopt metastable structures depending on the initial conditions, such as temperature, pressure or crystal size. With the unique environment created in the liquid cell, the formation of a hcp phase could be observed in Pd precursor solutions. Using this insight may provide a new route for designing and synthesizing novel energy storage materials. Have you become interested?
