David Muller, Director of the Electron Microscopy facility at PARADIM, has been named the 2024 recipient of the Joseph F. Keithley Award For Advances in Measurement Science. He was honored for pioneering a new generation of electron detectors and phase-sensitive reconstruction algorithms, which have led to major breakthroughs in the resolution and capabilities of electron microscopes. The award recognizes physicists whose innovations in measurement tools have had a broad impact on the physics community.
Platform for the Accelerated Realization, Analysis, and Discovery of Interface Materials (PARADIM)
PARADIM helps users design and create new interface materials — materials that do not exist in nature — with unprecedented properties for the next generation of electronic devices. Creating new interface materials with unprecedented properties, by design rather than by serendipity, is accomplished in PARADIM through a synergistic set of user facilities dedicated to theory (figuring out where to put the atoms for useful behavior), synthesis (putting the atoms in the targeted positions), and characterization (seeing that the atoms are indeed in the desired positions).
