Liquid Phase Electron Microscopy 2017
Abstract
This conference seeks to bring together leaders from across emerging the field of liquid phase electron microscopy (LPEM), and will include experts in the development of new methodologies, technologies and fundamental aspects involving the dynamics of organic, inorganic and biological nanomaterials. Topics will include the development of novel cells, holder designs and sample preparation, beam sample interactions and the use of low dose LPEM, nucleation and growth of crystals, the evolution of soft matter, imaging biological samples and advanced image analysis and data interpretation. Furthermore, it will, for the first time, bring together by theoretical and experimental teams looking at different aspects of LPEM and its development from fundamental approaches to setting up experiments, to the basic science problems of collecting, storing, and analyzing data collected from dynamic particles at the nanometer length scale. The conference aims to capture the substantial current interest in the development of LPEM that incorporate some of these features. LPEM is has already begun to revolutionize our understanding of dynamic nanomaterial behavior in liquids by providing real-time direct observation of fundamental processes such as nucleation and growth, morphology evolution and particle-particle interactions. The symposium will look at a number of these aspects involving a wide range of material systems. The overreaching goal of this symposium is to bring together leaders from across academia, from across the world, in national laboratories and educational institutions, involved in research involving LPEM and the fundamentals of nanoscale dynamics. Furthermore, we aim to mix these leaders with younger researchers who are having a significant impact on these concepts early in their careers. The symposium will have invited, and contributed talks and posters from scientists from across chemical, materials and biological science disciplines. We believe this blending of people interested in the concepts underlying both the fundamentals and the applied, will provide for an enlightening and vibrant multi-day conference. Conference results will be documented in two ways; firstly by the distribution of detailed conference abstracts in print and electronic form to participants, and the distribution to all conference attendees of PDF versions of presented materials at the close of session.
