Advanced Materials

State-of-the-art nanoscale imaging and spectroscopic techniques are essential for the characterization of advanced materials, providing unprecedented insight into their chemical composition, structural organization, and functional properties. These methods enable the precise analysis of nanomaterials, polymers, composites, and engineered surfaces, facilitating the identification of defects, phase distributions, and interfacial phenomena. By advancing the understanding of material performance at the atomic and molecular levels, high-resolution imaging accelerates the design and optimization of next-generation materials among others for electronics, energy, and biomedical applications.
