A beam of light? No - electrons dance,Through foil so thin, they pierce by chance.A lattice revealed, a whisper, a trace,Of atoms aligned in crystalline grace. No longer just theory, or grayscale in books,But fringes and defects in shimmering looks.The voids, the bubbles, the twins, the grains and the tears,A world once unseen now lays … Continue reading Ode to My First TEM

Pushing the Limits of Aluminium Crossover Alloys
Dr. mont. Patrick Willenshofer’s recent publication, “Influence of alloy chemistry and overaging on mechanical properties and corrosion resistance in aluminium crossover alloys”, is a remarkable contribution to the rapidly evolving field of advanced aluminium alloy development. This paper investigates the nuanced interplay between alloying elements and thermal history in novel AlMgZn-based crossover alloys enriched with copper … Continue reading Pushing the Limits of Aluminium Crossover Alloys
When an atom is just a bunch of pixels…
Breathtaking! Aluminium is the devil's metal...
