What if your TEM could run #microED and solve structures on its own?
Just insert your sampleβ€”watch the structure appear.
No human picks. No manual tweaks.

@cryomariena.bsky.social I'm heading to MMC in the UK on July 1st. If you're still interested then, let me know.
If I meet anyone looking for an electron microscopist, I'd be happy to pass on your info.

Unthinkable just 10 years ago:

Almost 3/4 of the EU’s electricity in 2024 was from renewable energy sources and nuclear.

Gas and coal electricity generation is at record low levels.

Purely random thought for the day. The Heard and McDonald Islands have no human population. Penguins are among the most common animals found there, including the Eastern Rockhopper (pictured).

Maybe we just need to translate the name into English, and start saying that "Fish Noise" is a fundamental limitation instead?

From now on, I will assume that you can reload a Napoleonic era musket or rifle and fire it at 6-rounds a minute or faster!

If they pronounced it "Dr Poison", it wouldn't sound so .....off, but when pronouncing Poisson, Americans tend to stress both vowels, so POYs-On. It's just wrong.

One bugbear though - foreign name pronunciation.

Dear Americans,
De Broglie is pronounced like De Broy, not like De Bro Glee.
Poisson is pronounced like Pwas On, not like Poys On.

A little effort in this area would be greatly appreciated!

There's a Chrome/Firefox browser extension called Sky Follower Bridge, that can be helpful for finding people from the other site.
You do have to be careful not to accidentally follow someone who merely has the same name as someone you know though.
