This project aims to establish a transmission electron microscopy facility for the high-throughput characterisation of delicate materials, at the atomic scale and a broad range of temperatures. Unique in Australia, this capability will enable the location and type of atoms critical to materials properties to be determined for materials as diverse as lithium-bearing minerals, next-generation solar cells and drug-delivery agents. In this way it will foster the engineering of new materials for addressing current challenges in energy, environment, transport, health and manufacturing. This will be a national, open access facility for use by research institutions and industry, and for training the next generation of postgraduate students.

该项目旨在建立一个透射电子显微镜设施，用于在原子尺度和广泛的温度范围内对精细材料进行高通量表征。这种能力在澳大利亚是独一无二的，它将能够确定对材料特性至关重要的原子的位置和类型，用于含锂矿物、下一代太阳能电池和药物输送剂等各种材料。通过这种方式，它将促进新材料的工程设计，以应对能源，环境，运输，健康和制造业的当前挑战。这将是一个供研究机构和工业使用的国家开放获取设施，并用于培训下一代研究生。
