DESCRIPTION:The desire to fabricate nanostructures with controlled propert
 ies has generated considerable interest in many fields such as molecular\n
 nanotechnology\, electronic devices and/or  heterogeneous catalysis. In pa
 rticular\, morphological control of nanoparticles has become increasingly 
 important as many of their physical and chemical properties are highly sha
 pe-dependent and require an accurate characterization technique. As nanoma
 terials are often three-dimensional (3D) in nature\, the limited-size\, co
 mplexity and heterogeneity of the produced nanostructures require an accur
 ate three-dimensional characterization technique. As such a three-dimensio
 nal technique\, electron tomography has been used successfully in material
 s science and its application has developed rapidly over recent years enab
 ling 3D analysis allowing a better understanding of physical-chemical prop
 erties of nanostructures. A variety of electron tomography results of a wi
 de range of different novel nanostructures\, arising from several fields o
 f nanotechnologies\, will be shown together with some recent development t
 o enhance the tomographic characterization.\n
