Description

Electron Crystallography Methods for Multidisciplinary Applications. The project aims to establish the first dedicated research group in Australia to develop new methods based on electron crystallography, namely micro-crystal electron diffraction (MicroED) and serial electron diffraction (SerialED). These methods enable the determination of 3D atomic structures of materials, small molecules, and macromolecules from nano- and micron-sized crystals, too small or too complex to be studied by existing techniques. This multidisciplinary research project expects to generate new knowledge in crystallography and electron microscopy. This should provide significant benefits in stimulating research in materials science, structural biology, structural chemistry, green catalysis, sustainable energy, and drug discovery.. Scheme: ARC Future Fellowships. Field: 3402 - Inorganic Chemistry. Lead: Dr Hongyi Xu
