Our new detector records the full position-momentum phase space for all electrons scattered through a sample, and ptychographic reconstruction algorithms solve the samples atomic structure. Our algorithms inversely solve for the multiple scattering of the electron beam and overcome the lens aberrations. For the first time, the resolution is set…

It is a totally novel and proprietary method of visualization, using specifically created paper coatings and manipulating the animals in such a way that their thought process, strategy and corresponding movements are documented on the paper, thereby also capturing time in a stand-still picture of artistic quality. The artistic contribution…

Rare-earth elements have distinct properties that make them vital to the electronics and energy sectors. However, the current method of their extraction remains highly toxic and unsustainable. Arshia Mostoufi proposes using a novel biological-based system for the cost-effective and environmentally friendly extraction of rare-earth elements from metal ores using a…
