Nanoprobes for diffusion measurements : Nanometric‐sized electrodes ( r =80 nm) have been constructed to map concentration profiles within the diffusion layer of a larger microelectrode ( r =40 μm) at high resolution (see picture). Comparisons with theoretical predictions demonstrate that, contrary to common wisdom, natural convection in the solution does, to some extent, affect diffusion at microelectrodes.
