After some upstreaming work by @curvenote.com and further work by the @mystmd.org core team, `anywidget` directive is now natively supported in `mystmd` and Jupyter Book 🎉 jupyterbook.org/blog/posts/2...

With the help of AI, I built a new package for making disordered supercells: tricor.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ex... tricor.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ex...

Another exciting paper - Using implicit neural representations to make electron tomography easier, more accurate and more robust! arxiv.org/pdf/2512.08113 Tutorials available too, example: github.com/electronmicr...

When the Microscopy Society of America set out to launch Elemental Microscopy, we partnered with them to make it happen fast - an interactive, open-access journal where readers can explore data and code while MSA maintains full control of the publishing process.

Our new DGP ptychography methods paper is online on the arxiv! arxiv.org/abs/2511.07795 Code + tutorial notebooks available if you want to try it out for your own ptychography experiments.

We've just posted an open faculty search in MSE at Stanford! facultypositions.stanford.edu/en-us/job/49...

In this paper, we show that neutral gallium clusters from a Ga-FIB microscope’s liquid metal ion source can create nanopores in thin samples and damage. Because these clusters aren’t stopped by the beam blanker, your samples could be exposed to them without your knowledge! doi.org/10.1093/mam/...

Another cool scattering matrix inversion paper lead by Emmanuel Terzoudis-Lumsden and Scott Findlay: arxiv.org/abs/2506.21004

Another week, another great paper led by @stephanieribet.bsky.social ! Multi-angle precession electron diffraction (MAPED): a versatile approach to 4D-STEM precession arxiv.org/abs/2506.11327 Serial precession finally!

I have an opening for a Doctoral Researcher working on adaptive sampling and faster 3D imaging in electron microscopy. Please spread the word pelzlab.science/posts/25-01-...

Hello! Who's up for some more 4D-STEM? Maybe a 2-day workshop on applications of 4D-STEM in sunny Yorkshire is just your jam? Hop over to the @royalmicrosoc.bsky.social for info, www.rms.org.uk/rms-event-ca... We look forwards to seeing you there with @bmatb.expmicromech.com @cophus.bsky.social

Excited to share this interactive pre-print investigating the information transfer of phase retrieval techniques in STEM 🔬 Now everyone has an open-access tool to optimise their experimental parameters ✨ Feel free to share and play around with it 🧪 www.elementalmicroscopy.com/articles/EM0...

Super proud of this work, which showcases modern scientific publishing for open science 🧪 Inspired by the insights of the interactive CTF widgets, we propose a novel phase-retrieval algorithm which achieves robust information transfer on sub-sampled datasets 🙌 @elementalmicrosc.bsky.social

Time for a dry subject: dehumidifiers youtu.be/j_QfX0SYCE8

@materials-mrs.bsky.social great job with the badge pickup guys - I think there are only 1000+ people ahead of me in line. And I tried to pick it up last night and was turned away.

Alright I'm in Seattle if anyone wants to grab dinner!

What a completely unpredictable turn of events!! cleantechnica.com/2025/04/05/c...

Beautiful day with the dish broadcasting a rainbow!

Where are we at with bird flu? This video explains: www.youtube.com/watch?v=5CyV...

NNI Nanometrology webinar: www.youtube.com/watch?v=gfQO...

Another great atomic electron tomography paper, lead by Prof Jihan Zhou! Check out these amazing reconstructions. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

This is the most relevant article to NIH and research cuts I’ve seen. Imagine if this was today , how many people would be saying “Why are we studying Gila Monsters and their impact on diabetes ? That’s wasted money !” globalnews.ca/news/9793403...

If you know someone who might also like to live in the chocolate city & develop 4D-STEM imaging, there's funding open & I'd be happy to chat -Roy Soc Newton International Fellowship royalsociety.org/grants/newto... -Marie Curie Fellowship marie-sklodowska-curie-actions.ec.europa.eu/actions/post...

Very cool explainer video on my field of electron microscopy! I still remember the first times I just kept zooming in and zooming in... and seeing atoms.

Hey there 🦋🧪, we're a new open access microscopy journal and wanted to introduce ourselves! EM aims to modernize scientific publishing for microscopy, by prioritizing open science, transparency, and accessibility and using open-source formats and interactive notebooks 🙌 @curvenote.com @mystmd.org 🚀

Nanobeam phase mapping from simulated data (so we know the ground truth) - it's a great day for open source!!

Cutting metal inside an SEM! www.youtube.com/watch?v=aF7l...

Hilarious end of 2024 summary for py4DSTEM: www.wrapped.dev/repo/py4dste...

Nice write up of collaborative work on soft semiconductors between my group and the Salleo and Minor groups - work let by Yael Tsarfati! engineering.stanford.edu/news/researc... www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Farewell Victoria!

More interactive figures!!

First live hockey game in a very long time - Vancouver vs Ottawa, a chaotic 2:2 after the 1st!

Monday 9th 15:00 Open Science Pavilion - Big Screen, Exhibit Hall Join @row1.ca for a session on Publishing Computational Research Session #OpenScience #Jupyter @mystmd.org

Just another helpful reminder that a human being on a bicycle is the most efficient amongst all animals and machines in terms of energy consumed in moving a certain distance as a function of body weight. Obvs.

Simulating electron diffraction combining precession and dynamical scattering!

Great day for running the dish!

Moire diffraction patterns! (simulated)

USA is an extreme outlier in life expectancy vs healthcare spending: www.reddit.com/r/economicCo...

🔬This image shows just 9 diffraction patterns (of 65536) from a dataset of gold nanoparticles on a carbon grid acquired for ptychographic reconstruction. 📷 Stephanie Ribet, Georgios Varnavides | @molecularfoundry.bsky.social @ucberkeleyofficial.bsky.social More: foundry.lbl.gov/2024/10/21/a...

Folks who give scientific talks on diffraction - here is a tutorial for rendering a physics demo movie using matplotlib and numpy, which you can run entirely in colab: drive.google.com/file/d/1uBq6... I show how to drawing pseudo-3D atoms in another tutorial: drive.google.com/file/d/1uUir...

In our new paper, we describe a missing type of Dzyaloshinskii–Moriya interaction that stabilizes in-plane magnetic chirality, enabling the creation and control of topological textures like merons and bimerons with ultra-low DMI strengths! doi.org/10.1038/s414...

Good / bad academic habits - spending WAY too long making figures! doi.org/10.1017/S143...
