Lipid nanotubes as an organic template for the fabrication of carbon nanostructures by pyrolysis

Abstract

We demonstrate the fabrication of pyrolytic carbon nanostructures through pyrolysis of lipid nanotube templates.

Colorimetric response in polydiacetylene at the single domain level using hyperspectral microscopy

“…42 Other spectral mapping based on scanning microscopy methods, such as infrared scattering scanning near-field optical microscopy (IR-s-SNOM) 43,44 and tipenhanced Raman spectroscopy (TERS), may be an alternative tool. 45 We found that each blue structure undergoes a unique path to diverse types of red structure, where a pattern, e.g., a certain blue structure prefers to transform into a certain red structure, was detected. The result implies that the stimulus (heat, in this work) leaves a fingerprint to the PDA blue-to-red transition pathways.…”
