Titled "Thermal stability and three-dimensional structural evolution of Pt coated Au Nanorods", Ece Arslan Irmak & Adrian Pedrazo Tardajos won the second posterprize at the virtual conference of Eusmi 2020. Congratulations!
2020 JEOL-EM Award
The jury decided to offer the Physical/Materials Sciences and Optics Award to Prof. Dr. Sara BALS from EMAT-University of Antwerp, Belgium, for her outstanding achievements in the field of 3D electron tomography.
"By combining state-of-the-art electron microscopy with advanced reconstruction algorithms, Sara Bals has significantly contributed to development and implementation of this method which today enables determination of the positions and chemical nature of atoms in individual nanoparticles. The research of Sara Bals is highly innovative and widely recognized by the EM scientific community."
Best Paper Honorable Mention
