Being able to observe the formation of multi-material nanostructures in situ, simultaneously from a morphological and crystallographic perspective, is a challenging task. Yet, this is essential for the fabrication of nanomaterials with well-controlled composition exposing the most active crystallographic surfaces, as required for highly active catalysts in energy applications. To demonstrate how X-ray ptychography can be combined with scanning nanoprobe diffraction to realize multimodal imaging, we study growing CuO nanocubes and their transformation into Au nanocages.

However, we lack experimental methods that can visualize these processes in solution, or in electrolyte, and provide three-dimensional information. Here, we show how X-ray ptychography enables in situ nano-imaging of the formation and hollowing of nanoparticles in solution at 155 °C.

Rotavirus is excreted in 40-60 % of children hospitalized with gastroenteritis all over the world. Every year, 2 million patients are hospitalized with a severe form of RVI, 25 million need medical help from a doctor and 111 million cases are treated at home.

The degree of adaptation processes' manifestation is analyzed and it is shown that it correlates with the intellectual capacity, which is based on the features of the brain integrative activity. During the study, the brain integrative activity was studied according to the information indicators of the higher (memory, internal time tracking) and central (stabilometric reaction, functional asymmetry degree) levels.
