Stylized graphic of an electron beam, shown as a purple cone with a red bullseye tip, aimed precisely at a single atom in a hexagonal lattice of atoms. The background is a faint atomic-resolution microscopy image, highlighting the idea of targeting individual atoms in atomically thin materials
Excited to welcome MIT’s Julian P. Klein as a keynote at the #NESM Fall Symposium! 🔬 His work uses electron beams to target atoms in 2D materials — here’s a teaser image from his research in quantum engineering.

Split image comparing confocal and STED microscopy of a cell. The left half (labeled "Confocal") shows a blurrier image with magenta and green signals—magenta representing nuclear pore complexes in the nucleus, and green showing the vimentin cytoskeleton. The right half (labeled "STED") displays the same structures with much sharper definition and finer detail, highlighting the improved resolution of STED microscopy.
