Maximilian Haider, Harald Rose and Knut Urban

German physicists Maximilian Haider, Harald Rose and Knut Urban developed aberration-corrected electron optics which increased the resolution of electron microscopes to the subatomic level. They received the BBVA Foundation Frontiers of Knowledge Award in the Basic Sciences for this accomplishment.

Microscopy: Hasten high resolution

In a Nov 26, 2014 comment in the journal Nature Stephen Pennycook and Sergei Kalinin argue that there is a need for electron microscopes with a resolution of 0. 1 Å which is the goal set in 1959 by physicist Richard Feynman. Pennycock and Kalinin propose that it is possible to overcome to obtain this goal by honing aberration-corrector designs, tweaking optics and electronics, and reducing noise. Three-dimensional (3D) maps of atoms would reveal how materials can be improved in important areas of research including solar materials, batteries and fuel cells.
