atom probe tomography expert discusses state of the science,
solving materials challenges Well versed in the history of atom
probe imaging, Dr. Michael K. Miller of Oak Ridge National
Laboratory spoke on the promises and challenges of atom probe
tomography, which provides three-dimensional images of atoms in
a sample. The talk was given to a packed room as part of the
Frontiers in Chemical Imaging Seminar Series. This series,
hosted by Pacific Northwest National Laboratory, features
academic, government, and industrial leaders discussing novel
advances in imaging. "Miller literally wrote the book on atom
probe tomography," said Dr. Lou Terminello, who leads the
Chemical Imaging Initiative at Pacific Northwest National
Laboratory. Promises Made. In designing catalysts to transform
intermittent renewable energy into use-any-time fuels,
scientists examine new materials, made by adding small amounts
of different elements to existing materials. Adding
