  Imaging of isotope diffusion using atomic-scale vibrational spectroscopy

  Vibrational electron energy-loss spectroscopy is used to distinguish two stable isotopes of carbon and to monitor their diffusion with subnanometre spatial resolution.

  Reverse and forward engineering of Drosophila corneal nanocoatings

  The building blocks of the nanostructures observed on Drosophila corneas are determined, and then used to create artificial nanostructures with anti-reflective and anti-adhesive properties.

  Shape-changing magnetic assemblies as high-sensitivity NMR-readable nanoprobes

  A shape-changing sensor made of pairs of magnetic disks spaced by swellable hydrogel material removes all need for optical access by operating in the nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) radio-frequency spectrum.

  Structured spheres generated by an in-fibre fluid instability

  Uniformly sized, structured spherical particles can be made in large quantities and across a wide range of sizes by an ingenious technique involving heating and drawing out multi-component fibres.

  Patterning by controlled cracking

  Propagating cracks—normally associated with material failure and viewed as undesirable—can be controlled in a film/substrate system, opening up new possibilities for nanofabrication and atomic-scale patterning.
