Clockwise from left are, Stony Brook University student Jing Li and Brookhaven Lab scientists Hong Gan, Qingping Meng, Enyuan Hu, Ke Sun, Xiao-Qing Yang, and Dong Su in an electron microscopy lab at the Center for Functional Nanomaterials. The molecular models they are holding correspond to the phases that emerged within a single magnetite nanoparticle as lithium ions were added.
