Austrian Centre for Electron Microscopy and Nanoanalysis (FELMI-ZFE), Austria’s leading electron microscopy facility, is offering a position as Ph. D. Researcher (F/M/D): Mapping Atomic Defects Within the FWF project “AtomDensityMap”, we are offering a three-year PhD position focused on simulation-driven ptychography for atomic-scale defect characterisation. Atomic defects dictate how materials behave, from energy storage to electronics and quantum devices, yet capturing their configuration and electrostatic landscape is a major challenge. AtomDensityMap tackles this by combining state-of the-art electron microscopy with…

Being able to see and analyse materials at atomic resolution, has been a strong motivation for improving the electron microscope. However, the resolution of the conventional transmission electron microscope (TEM) was limited to around 0.2 nanometre, which is slightly larger than the diameter of atoms.

The ESTEEM3 initiative brings together the leading European laboratories equipped with the most advanced TEM installations and thereby aims to be the key European multi-site research and user infrastructure platform for advanced electron microscopy characterisations.

TU Graz SciPix is a photo and video competition held at TU Graz, which focuses the spotlight on the diverse research being carried out at the Styrian research institution.

The project partner of this cooperation Borkenstein & Borkenstein is a medical practice, which is highly specialized on cataract surgeries. In this operation, the intraocular lens (IOL) replaces the natural eye lens while the lens sheath remains.

In March 2018, the Christian Doppler Laboratory for Direct-Write Fabrication of 3D Nano-Probes  (CDL DEFINE) was officially opened under the auspices of Rector Univ.-Prof. DI Dr. Harald Kainz at Graz University of Technology.
