Article Synopsis
- - The spatial distribution of component species in electroactive film devices is crucial for understanding their performance, influencing both transport rates and mechanical properties.
- - Specular neutron reflectivity (NR) is a technique that can profile individual species at "buried" interfaces, although it has traditionally had poor time resolution.
- - This study demonstrates improved NR measurements that allow for spatial and temporal resolution during processes like polypyrrole electrodeposition and copper deposition/dissolution, revealing insights into film homogeneity and complex solvent interactions.

Article Synopsis
- Latent fingerprints on metal can be visualized using a technique that involves electrodeposition, where the fingerprint acts as a mask to coat only the areas between the ridges with a polymer, enhancing sensitivity and visual contrast.
- The study innovates by combining optical absorption and fluorescence techniques while using a polymer (polypyrrole) that can undergo chemistry changes post-deposition, allowing for advanced imaging at various scales.
- The research demonstrates that controlling the electrochemistry at a nanoscale enables the bonding of a large fluorophore, which improves image quality and aids in analyzing the fingerprint details through various spectroscopic methods.
