  Sub-particle reaction and photocurrent mapping to optimize catalyst-modified photoanodes

  Using single-molecule fluorescence imaging of photoelectrocatalysis, the charge-carrier activities on single TiO₂ nanorods and the corresponding water-oxidation photocurrent are mapped at high spatiotemporal resolution, revealing the best catalytic sites and the most effective sites for depositing an oxygen evolution catalyst.

  Pull-down for single molecules

  An innovative marriage of techniques, combining the principles of common protein pull-down assays with single-molecule fluorescence microscopy, opens up new ways of visualizing cellular protein complexes. See Article p.484

  Single-atom-resolved fluorescence imaging of an atomic Mott insulator

  For several years, researchers have aspired to record in situ images of a quantum fluid in which each underlying quantum particle is detected. This goal has now been achieved: here, fluorescence imaging is reported of strongly interacting bosonic Mott insulators in an optical lattice, with single-atom and single-site resolution. The approach opens up new avenues for the manipulation, analysis and applications of strongly interacting quantum gases on a lattice.
