Introduction
New Atomic Resolution Electron Microscopy for Materials Science
Electron Microscopy and Material Science Laboratory is aiming for opening up a new era in materials science and engineering by fusing advanced electron microscopy development and materials science research at a high level. Specifically, we are strongly promoting the development of new atomic resolution electron microscopy and the research of materials that are extremely important for society and industry such as metals, ceramics, devices, magnetic and organic materials, as two wheels of a cart. By developing a new electron microscopy that does not exist anywhere, we will create a new "eye" for materials, and use that "eye" to explore a sub-atomic scale world of materials. Such exciting research we are aiming!

JST ERATO "Ultra-Atomic Resolution Electron Microscopy Project"
In the ERATO project of the Japan Science and Technology Agency (JST), where Professor Naoya Shibata serves as research supervisor, we are developing a new type of electron microscope, developing a new electron microscopy method, and applying it to materials research. Please visit Project Website for details.
