| Abstract Scope |
Understanding the fundamental properties and behaviors of different materials is crucial for scientific and technological advancements in health, energy, and the environment, and materials characterization is a key aspect of achieving this. In this talk, we will explore the state-of-the-art techniques used for materials characterization, such as electrons, ions, X-rays, atomic force microscopy, and other innovative methods. These techniques enable us to delve deeper into the characteristics of materials at tiny scales and better understand their structure and properties. We will offer three examples that showcase remarkable advancements in materials science: discovering the natural quasicrystals, exploring exotic topological and energy materials, and studying the quantum mechanical properties through atom-by-atom engineering. These breakthroughs provide valuable insights into the frontiers of materials science and offer possibilities for transformative discoveries and innovations in various fields. |
