What's New

October 26, 2021:  We achieved the fastest 3D nanoimaging by utilizing data science technology. Now we can visualize dislocations in 300-nm-thick samples within 5-second data acquisition! This novel development is just published in Scientific Reports. "Five-second STEM dislocation tomography for 300 nm thick specimen assisted by deep-learning-based noise filtering"

Spatial distribution of |Ez| 2 excited by an in-plane rotating dipole with the excitation frequency placed at the axis of a large cylinder
Rapid STEM dislocation tomography. (a) and (b) 3D-reconstructed data calculated from (a) Tiltseries 2 and (b) Tilt-series 3. (c) Superposition of (a) and (b). The 3D data are projected along with several angles and displayed as 2D images.
July 27, 2021:  We experimentally demonstrated the topological-photonics theory by using electron microscopy and cathodoluminescence techniques. The articles showing the world's first proof at the nanoscale is just published in Nano Letters. "Valley-Polarized Plasmonic Edge Mode Visualized in the Near-Infrared Spectral Range"
