Research Highlights

Featured projects and breakthroughs from our lab

Research Highlight 1

Antiferroelectric domain imaging

Our recent work demonstrates a new method for nanoscale imaging of in-plane antiferroelectric materials.

Research Highlight 2

Surface Plasmon Polaritons of MXenes

This new work shows that MXenes can support surface plasmon polaritions in the visible portion of the EM spectrum.

Research Highlight 3

Biological Imaging on the Nanoscale

We determine the chemical mechanism behind a new methodology for volume electron microscopy of biological interfaces.
