Osaka University has started the development of the world's most advanced electron microscope in a joint project with the University of Vienna in Austria, the University of Rome in Italy, and CEOS in Germany, which manufactures electron microscope correction devices.
According to Osaka University, the joint project will invest 6 million euros (about 1,400 billion yen) in 18 years with the support of the European Research Council.From Osaka University, a research group such as Professor Kazu Suenaga of the Institute of Scientific and Industrial Research will participate.
We are aiming to develop an electron microscope that can measure various physical properties of substances with the world's highest energy resolution of atomic scale spatial resolution and 1 mega electron volt.
Li-ion battery electrodes that are widely used from the basic scientific aspects such as quantum transition mechanisms such as superconductivity by accurately measuring the optical, vibration, and transport characteristics of nanoscale devices intended for energy device applications. It is expected to be an unprecedented electron microscope device that can contribute to a wide range of applications such as improvement.
