By napping carbon and oxygen out of thin air, scientists have discovered a cheaper way to make preci
Vanderbilt University engineers have discovered how to break carbon dioxide in air into carbon and oxygen, and then stitch the carbon together to make carbon nanotubes -- a valuable engineering material. What one researcher called "black gold," the tiniest carbon nanotubes are stronger than steel ...This is an NSF Multimedia Gallery item. (Source: NSF Multimedia Gallery)

Transformation of an HfO2 nanorod
A collaborative team of researchers observed in real-time the transformation of an HfO2 nanorod from its room temperature to tetragonal phase at 1000 degrees less than its bulk temperature. Nanorod surfaces and twin boundary defects (pictured here) serve to kinetically trap this phase.

The cryo-EM revolution
NIH Director's Wednesday Afternoon Lecture Series
Research in the Subramaniam lab over the last decade has been guided by the vision that emerging tools in 3D electron microscopy hold great promise for imaging cells, viruses and protein complexes at high resolution in their native states, thus bridging a major gap in structural biology. In his talk, he will review examples of recent progress ranging from determination of protein structures at atomic resolution to imaging viruses, cells and tissue at nanometer resolution.For more information go tohttps://oir.nih.gov/wals/2017-2018/Air date: 4/11/2018 3:00:00 PM (Source: Videocast - All Events)

A piece of the quantum puzzle (Image 5)
A superconducting qubit chip with a few qubits on it. The size of the chip is about 6 mm by 6 mm. The wafer was made by depositing 200 nanometers of aluminum on a sapphire substrate, followed by a multi-layer lithography process, to nano-fabricate various elements of the quantum processor.
