This project aims to map electrons in nano-structured materials using a new technique combining the latest solid-state theory with electron scattering experiments in one of the world’s most advanced electron microscopes. It is expected that by revealing the electronic structure of nano-scale features in bulk materials for the first time, their functions will become fully explainable. Aside from this new capability, other expected outcomes include discovering how heat is converted into electricity in thermoelectric materials and how precipitates affect alloy strength. The benefits may include more informed materials design, more efficient thermoelectrics for sustainable energy technologies, and higher strength-to-weight ratio alloys.

该项目旨在使用一种新技术，将最新的固态理论与世界上最先进的电子显微镜之一的电子散射实验相结合，绘制纳米结构材料中的电子图。 预计通过首次揭示块体材料中纳米尺度特征的电子结构，它们的功能将变得完全可以解释。 除了这种新的能力，其他预期的成果包括发现热如何在热电材料中转化为电，以及沉淀物如何影响合金强度。 这些好处可能包括更明智的材料设计，更有效的热电可持续能源技术，以及更高的强度重量比合金。
