The electronic behavior of thin films is heavily influenced by the contact with their surroundings, as exemplified by the recent discovery of 2D superconductivity at a thin film interface. However, information about how such entwined states come into existence is limited by the lack of tools capable of visualizing such buried interfaces.

Researchers have developed an inexpensive way to make products incorporating nanoparticles — such as high-performance energy devices or sophisticated diagnostic tests — which could speed the commercial development of devices, materials and technologies.
