Arguably one of the most important papers for microscopy landed in February this year. This Nature paper provides a segmentation and fine tuning framework for anything microscopy. Fast, general, and open-source. #Microscopy #AI #SegmentAnything ow.ly/mvHV50W25SO

DYK: Ga FIB patterning on Si and SrTiO₃ is governed primarily by total ion dose. New work out this week in M&M provides a metric set linking dwell, overlap and pass count to final line geometry—handy for nano-lithography tuning! ow.ly/wICe50VRnvV

Microscopy and Microanalysis extended the abstract deadline to today so you still have time to submit! Don't forget! See you Salt Lake City. mmconference.microscopy.org

In case you missed it, LBNL researchers developed a new '4D` STEM detector with 576x576 pixels and 87,000 Hz speed! It captures data at 480 Gbit/s, enabling increasingly complex electron diffraction studies. We're gonna need a bigger hard drive. ow.ly/8gvX50UwjNr

From all of us at MAS, we hope you have a wonderful holiday season!

Exciting research using ptychographic X-ray computed tomography reveals silica aggregates in styrene-butadiene rubber at an impressive 76 nm resolution! This application showcases the capabilities of PXCT. ow.ly/19hn50UvFg4

New research unveils methods to enhance SEM imaging grains in materials! By improving grain boundary visibility in BSE and automating segmentation, these techniques deepen our understanding of material properties during deformation processes. ow.ly/E0wn50UuxCw

Submission for abstracts is officially open for #M&M2025! Remember to submit and register early! See you in Salt Lake City! ow.ly/UG7r50Uul2Q

Exciting breakthrough in battery research! A new operando freezing cryo-EM method captures real-time structural changes in battery materials, enhancing safety & longevity. This could transform energy storage tech! academic.oup.com/mam/article/30…

A new image-processing pipeline for volumetric electron microscopy tackles common artifacts without compromising contrast, enhancing biological structure analysis. Promising results from Microwasp data show its adaptability for broader applications! 🌟🔬 ow.ly/5pko50UtAqB
