US’ new 200x sharper electron microscope could transform batteries and chips
SMRTR summary
A custom-built electron microscope, installed at Brookhaven National Laboratory in New York, offers 200 times sharper energy resolution than existing microscopes. It can simultaneously analyze a material's atomic structure, chemical composition, and electronic behavior, bridging gaps between electron microscopy and X-ray research. This breakthrough could accelerate development of better batteries, semiconductors, and quantum materials by revealing atomic-level changes previously impossible to observe.
