Researchers from Columbia Engineering and the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Brookhaven National Laboratory
The authors said they have created a new high-resolution X-ray imaging technique that reveals the internal structure of a nanomaterial.
The team has developed a new nanomaterial:scientists used DNA as building blocks that were easy to change and program. Therefore, according to the authors, new engineered materials for catalysis, optics and extreme environments can be easily created.
In the process of creating these materials, the building blocks, consisting of DNA and nanoparticles, fall into place themselves based on a specific template developed by the researchers.
But to get an image of the created structureusing X-rays, it was necessary to convert them into inorganic materials that could normally perceive radiation and continue to function. For the first time, researchers have been able to see details and even imperfections in new nanomaterials.
