A research team led by PARADIM’s David A. Muller has set a new benchmark in imaging resolution using a specialized electron microscope and a detector known as the EMPAD (electron microscope pixel array detector). The group achieved sub-ångström resolution, breaking the world record for the most precise image ever taken of a material structure.
Their results, published in Nature, mark a major advancement in ptychographic imaging and pave the way for new insights into materials at the atomic scale.
