A graphic shows how a new transmission electron microscopy (TEM) method developed by researchers can provide a view into the polymerization of nanomaterials. Researchers can peer under the hood of the polymerization process at the nanoscale to create nanoparticles with new and valuable properties.
Researchers have developed a new process that might unlock some of the mysteries of designing the future of “smart” materials.
Scientists at Northwestern University and the University of Florida developed a new microscopy method that gives researchers a view into the polymerization process that occurs in material science to create nanoparticles with unprecedented capabilities.

Northwestern researchers have developed a new microscopy method that allows scientists to see the building blocks of smart materials being formed at the nanoscale.
The chemical process is set to transform the future of clean water and medicines and for the first time people will be able to watch the process in action. Our method allows us to visualize this class of polymerization in real time, at the nanoscale, which has never been done before, said Northwestern s Nathan Gianneschi. We now have the ability to see the reaction taking place, see these nanostructures being formed, and learn how to take advantage of the incredible things they can do.
