Max Planck scientists design a process that merges metal extraction, alloying and processing into one single, eco-friendly step. Their results are now published in the journal Nature.
Atom probe tomography (APT) is a material analysis technique capable of 3D compositional mapping with sub-nanometer resolution. The specimens for APT are shaped as sharp needles (~100 nm radius at the apex), so as to reach the necessary intense electrostatic fields, and are typically prepared via focused ion beam (FIB) based milling.
