One of our biggest focuses as a company is providing tools that properly scale experiments from bulk to nano. This means the in situ conditions our systems generate inside the TEM mimic those used on the bulk scale as closely as possible, creating results that are relevant and can confidently be incorporated as a complementary … Read More
Sit down and enjoy reading a new publication on a Tuesday! Single Pt atom catalysts are key targets because a high exposure of Pt substantially enhances electrocatalytic activity. In this paper the authors of #UniversityofNewSouthWales used the #ProtochipsAduro holder to intiate a heating experiment on single Pt atom catalysts. Using an environmental transmission electron microscope … Read More
Another Tuesday Publication update! Memory transistors based on two-dimensional (2D) ferroelectric semiconductors are intriguing for next-generation in-memory computing. Using the #FusionSelect, a heating study was performed on some beautiful 2D In2Se3 films. The phase-controllable synthesis strategies of large-area 2D In2Se3 films from this study can open numerous opportunities in developing novel structures and concepts for … Read More
Another Friday publication update! In this study the goal was to establish a systematic understanding of the phase evolution in a face centered cubic non equiatomic nanocrystalline compositionally complex alloys. The #FusionSelect was used to heat the sample, while forming automated crystal orientation maps at the same time. This gave detailed information on the decomposition … Read More
Tuesday publication update! In this recent publication by #PennsylvaniaStateUniversity human viruses were observed using the #PoseidonSelect system. Microwelled E-chips were used with different liquid thicknesses to observe the configuration of the adeno-associated virus (AAV). The improvement of the understanding of these biological entities can have a bread societal impact for human health and diseases, in … Read More
Friday publication update! In this recent publication, the role of metal vacancies was discovered in InGaN quantum wells, using the #Atmosphere system. Using focussed ion beam (FIB) preparation methods, a MOVPE nanoreactor was added to the #Gascell system and investigated for void formation, in situ. Metal vacancy agglomeration was a crucial part of the formation … Read More
