ASU Professor Chosen as Fellow of the Royal Society

It was a problem that remained unsolved for 50 years: Aberrations made the images produced by electron microscopes "fuzzy." But in the mid 1990s, a team led by Ondrej Krivanek designed and built a practical aberration corrector to improve the resolution of electron microscopes, making it easier for researchers around the world to image and analyze matter – atom by atom.

Stress Corrosion Leads to Detachment of Diamond-Like Carbon Nano Layer

Extra-hard coatings made from diamond-like carbon (DLC) extend the operating lifetime of tools and components. In artificial joints, however, these coatings often fail because they detach. Empa researchers found out why – and developed methods to both make the interface between the DLC layer and the metal underneath corrosion-resistant and to predict the lifetime of the implants.
