Movie of Individual Carbon Atoms in Action

Researchers used the world’s most powerful transmission electron microscope to make the first ever live action movie of the dynamics of carbon atoms. What they saw looks promising for spintronic-based computing.

SuperSTEM

The SuperSTEM microscopes incorporate computer controlled aberration correction of the objective lens using quadrupole and octupole lenses. This allows the formation of a sub-Angstrom probe for simultaneous ultra-high resolution high angle annular dark field (HAADF) imaging and atomic-column electron energy loss spectroscopy (EELS) analysis of thin specimens.
