Innovation Crossroads

New technique could unlock potential of quantum materials

Electron microscopy measurements are usually performed by collecting all points in a 2D grid. Here, using deep learning in real time, only sites of interest are measured (colored circles), allowing experiments to be conducted on a much larger variety of materials, even those that change under the beam.

A research team led by the Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory has devised a unique method to observe changes in materials at the atomic level. The technique opens new avenues for understanding and developing advanced materials for quantum computing and electronics.
