Tuesday publication update! Managing high-level waste (HLW) from nuclear plants is a formidable challenge, where radiation resistance is crucial, but so is the thermal recovery of radiation damage. In this newest publication, an atomic-scale understanding of how materials respond to thermal annealing is shown. Using in situ heating (#FusionAX) high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM) the … Read More
Tuesday publication update! Non-trivial topological structures, such as vortex-antivortex (V-AV) pairs, have gained attention in the field of condensed matter physics. Despite their significance, the detailed dynamics of V- AV phase transitions—encompassing self-annihilation, motion, and dissociation—have remained elusive in real space. This newest article in Advanced Materials looks into these materials using the #FusionAX system! … Read More
Tuesday publication update! With this newest published research atomic-scale mechanisms were observed on 2D materials using our #FusionAX system! The authors imaged, atom-by-atom, the thermally induced structural evolution of twisted bilayer transition metal dichalcogenides using in situ transmission electron microscopy. The authors used short 0.5-s heat pulses from 100° to 1000°C and took STEM images … Read More
Tuesday publication update! This latest research, published in #NatureCommunications is looking at the transformation of one-dimensional (1D) materials in liquid using our #PoseidonAx system! Developping a versatile, and controlled synthetic method for these materials has long been a challenge, and can now be observed in real time and at the nanoscale. The structural evolution of … Read More
