A stochastic view on surface inhomogeneity of nanoparticles
Determining the spatial arrangement of molecules on a nanoparticle’s surface is key to understanding its interactions. Here, the authors use dSTORM imaging and probabilistic modelling to map the distribution of fluorophores on a nanoparticle, finding that ligand coverage is heterogeneous and highly...

Determining the spatial arrangement of molecules on a nanoparticle’s surface is key to understanding its interactions. Here, the authors use dSTORM imaging and probabilistic modelling to map the distribution of fluorophores on a nanoparticle, finding that ligand coverage is heterogeneous and highly variable between individual particles. |
