Every year, ARC celebrates the incredible scientific images captured by our electron microscopy users. Congratulations to this year’s winners!
Best SEM Image Hala Soliman (Prieto Group)
This striking SEM image captures the triangular morphology of electrodeposited tin-antimony (SnSb), a promising anode material for next-generation sodium-ion batteries. The image beautifully illustrates how electron microscopy reveals the relationship between crystal morphology and electrochemical performance.
Best TEM Image Kaiyuan Wang (Sambur Group)
This TEM image reveals a five-layer tungsten sulfide nanotube surrounding a tungsten oxide core. The exceptional image quality showcases the power of transmission electron microscopy to visualize atomic-scale materials invisible to optical techniques.
Congratulations to both winners, and thank you to everyone who submitted entries this year. The winning images and honorable mentions are on display outside Yates 101. Stop by and take a look!
