In the 1940s, scientists first explained how Materials can deform plastically by atomic-scale line defects called dislocations. These defects can be understood as tiny carpet folds that can move one part of a material relative to the other without spending a lot of energy. Many technical application...

In the research paper Thomas Przybilla, Benjamin Apeleo Zubiri and co-workers present a versatile approach that provides a general routine for advanced 3D characterization of micro- and nanoparticles. The method which was developed at IMN and CENEM involves the transfer of individual particles onto ...

Nanomaterials play a key role in modern materials research, due to their size dependent physical properties. In order to better understand this, the young scientists of the doctoral program GRK 1896 "In situ microscopy with electrons, X-rays and scanning probes" around EAM member Prof. Erdmann Spiec...
