Strain engineering, which involves deliberately stretching or compressing a crystal lattice, is used to boost the speed of electron flow in a device. Even a fraction of percent change in lattice ...

In geology, electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD) is a powerful tool for the observation and analysis of microstructures and for phase identification. The EBSD system, by Oxford Instruments, ...

Last November, Quantum Design and NanoMEGAS invited industry and research professionals to learn more about the theoretical and practical applications of Precession Electron Diffraction (PED).

What was discovered: Scientists observed that electron crystals in metals can deform and melt like solids, disrupting their ordered patterns. Why it matters: Manipulating these structures could enable ...
