As energy demands grow, the need to understand and characterize the underlying energetic reactions of the materials and system also grows. With in situ electron microscopy, you can directly image and measure the performance of nanoscale batteries, catalysts, piezoelectrics, and volatile materials to quantify the reactions of interest.
