Beside its main purpose as a high-end tool in material analysis reaching the atomic scale for structure, chemical and electronic properties, aberration-corrected scanning transmission electron microscopy (STEM) is increasingly used as a tool to manipulate materials down to that very same scale. In order to obtain exact and reproducible results, it is essential to consider the interaction processes and interaction ranges between the electron beam and the involved materials. Here, we show in situ that electron beam-induced etching in a low-pressure oxygen atmosphere can extend up to a distance of several nm away from the Ångström-size electron beam, usually used for probing the sample.

This paper aims to understand the binding strategies of a nanobody-protein pair by studying known complexes. Rigid body protein-ligand docking programs produce several complexes, called decoys, which are good candidates with high scores of shape complementarity, electrostatic interactions, desolvation, buried surface area, and Lennard-Jones potentials. However, the decoy that corresponds to the native structure is not known.

High-resolution scanning transmission electron microscopy (HR-STEM) with spherical aberration correction enables researchers to peer into two-dimensional (2D) materials and correlate the material properties with those of single atoms. The maximum intensity of corrected electron beam is confined in the area having sub-angstrom size. Meanwhile, the residual threefold astigmatism of the electron probe implies a triangular shape distribution of the intensity, whereas its tails overlap and thus interact with several atomic species simultaneously.

Pores are comprised of a few atoms missing in the two-dimensional (2D) lattice (1-5 Mo atoms) of characteristic sizes from ∼0.5 to 1.
