Two members of the Tomo-Group, Alexander Götz and Dr. Benjamin Apeleo Zubiri, represented the Institute of Micro and Nanostructure Research (IMN) at the 16th International Conference on X-Ray Microscopy (XRM 2024), which took place in Lund, Sweden, from August 12-16, 2024. The conference brought tog...

The classical way to study defects in crystalline materials is transmission electron microscopy (TEM). But do we always need this expensive and sophisticated instrument? IMN scientists have now demonstrated that the much more widespread and affordable scanning electron microscope (SEM) can be equall...

In collaboration with colleagues from the Department of Data Science, IMN researchers developed a new compressed sensing method that uses mathematical optimization to improve the quality of 3D reconstructions in nanotomography of homogeneous materials. The work was performed in the framework of the ...

The Institute of Micro- and Nanostructure Research (IMN) proudly announces that Mr. Peter Denninger defended his PhD on June 24, 2024. His exceptional work, titled “Development of Novel In Situ Electron Microscopy Techniques and Their Applications to Functional Thin Films,” has earned him the title ...

We are delighted to welcome Dr. Ashton Egan, a distinguished researcher from Ohio State University, as a Humboldt Research Fellow. Dr. Ashton Egan brings a wealth of expertise in nickel and cobalt-based superalloys, and electron microscopy. He joins us from The Ohio State University and the Center f...

We are pleased to announce the recent publication of the paper "Structural evolution of GaOx- shell and intermetallic phases in Ga-Pt SCALMS" by S. Carl, J. Will, B. Apeleo Zubiri, E. Spiecker and colleagues in the Journal of Physical Chemistry Letters. Propane dehydrogenation (PDH) has attracted...
