Nowadays, there is a growing demand for “live” dynamic imaging with nanometer-scale resolution. A number of electron-based imaging techniques have been recently proposed or realized, that aim at precisely these capabilities and that might enable ground-breaking research and exciting discoveries. In the 21st century, life sciences will surely thrive based on developments in physics, and specifically in physics instrumentation. Moreover, chemistry related to the energy transition, e.g. in catalysis and electrochemistry, can also profit enormously from new methods for imaging dynamic processes.
Our workshop brought together those who develop new technologies and those who use cutting-edge technology for posing new scientific questions. During our workshop at the Lorentz Center the latest technology developments were showcased to potential expert users. Conversely, the intricacies of specific topics in the life sciences and physics/chemistry were exposed to developers. Thus creating a road map for further developments that will expand the capabilities of dynamic electron imaging.
