This work presents a method for determining local thickness and reconstructing the three-dimensional shape of nanoparticles using single EDXS elemental maps acquired in a transmission electron microscope. The approach provides an alternative to conventional electron tomography and enables the characterization of nanoparticles with different morphologies and chemical compositions.

We warmly congratulate Erich Müller on his 25-year service anniversary in the public sector.

Thank you for your many years of loyal and dedicated service at KIT, your enthusiasm for research and teaching, and the excellent collaboration. We look forward to continuing our work together.

It was a successful day at LEM during “Türen auf mit der Maus”! Many children had the opportunity to discover exciting scientific microworlds and experience science up close.

Our colleagues Arne Schwartz, Martin Peterlechner and Nivedita Sudheer represented LEM at IMC21 in Liverpool, showcasing their work, engaging with global scholars, and capitalizing on the chance to network within the broader materials community

On October 3, 2026, the LEM opens its doors for 'Türen auf mit der Maus'! We are already looking forward to going on a search together with Maus-fans for the (tiny) little wonders that are hiding all around us – even in the most everyday things.

We were pleased to welcome Prof. Michael Titus from Purdue University, a long-time colleague and friend of our group. His visit provided an excellent opportunity for valuable scientific exchange and inspiring discussions. Thank you for visiting LEM!

International Guest: Prof. Tresa Pollock

We were honored to welcome Prof. Tresa Pollock from UC Santa Barbara, USA, as our guest at LEM.

The exchange and discussions were truly enriching, and we look forward to welcoming you again soon!
