The TEAM Project

In 2004, Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory’s National Center for Electron Microscopy, supported by the US Department of Energy Office of Science, kicked off the TEAM Project, a three-year program to jointly construct a new generation electron microscope, incorporating aberration-correcting electron optics, and to develop a common platform for a powerful new nano-characterization instrument. The alliance would make this instrument widely available to the materials and nanoscience community to study how atoms combine to form materials, how materials grow and how they respond to a variety of external factors. These constitute many of the most practical things that we need to know about materials and will improve designs for everything from better, lighter, more efficient automobiles, to stronger buildings and new ways of harvesting energy.
 
FEI Company was proud to be selected as the major commercial partner for column integration and column construction for this ground-breaking project. Explore more Solutions for Energy Research  from FEI Company
