“New ways to see” - Reimagining Electron Microscopy

在单个原子水平上理解材料对于理解它们的性质至关重要。该计划旨在通过重新想象电子显微镜背后的基本概念，开发在原子水平上测量物质结构的新方法。这将使材料中的细微结构类别能够被看到，而这些结构在以前是不可见的。这些新知识将为材料的特性以及如何设计它们以提供新功能提供基本见解。预期成果包括对原子尺度结构具有前所未有的灵敏度的显微镜和对材料特性的新理解。

Understanding materials at the level of individual atoms can be critical for understanding their properties. This program aims to develop new ways to measure the structure of matter at the level of atoms by reimagining the fundamental concepts behind an electron microscope. This will enable subtle classes of structures in materials to be seen, that were previously not visible. This new knowledge will provide fundamental insight into the properties of materials and how they can be engineered to deliver new functions. Expected outcomes include a microscope with unprecedented sensitivity to atomic scale structures and new understanding of material’s properties.
