Although a lot of u seful information can be obtained from ex situ imaging\, many material s have a different (surface) structure at elevated temperature as oppo sed to room temperature\, and in vacuum as opposed to gaseous environm ent. The specific gas present can even influence the structure of a ma terial. This means that traditional TEM images are mostly obtained of materials that are NOT in the state in which they are used in practice . One important area of application is catalysis research. The develop ment of differentially pumped ETEM was a significant step in the direc tion of real in situ TEM\, allowing gas pressures of up to 50 mbar and heating up to about 1000 °C. We have developed a micro-electro-mecha nical system (MEMS) nanoreactor to bridge the pressure gap. It confine s a thin layer of gas (several microns) in a windowed cell\, thus reta ining atomic resolution at pressures exceeding 1 bar by limiting the p ath length of gas the electron have to traverse. The catalyst under st udy (or its precursor) can be loaded into the nanoractor prior to the experiments. Small electron-transparent windows provide both good tran smission of the electron beam and stability against the pressure diffe rence. Heating is possible up to about 1000 °C. New developments incl ude incorporation of a light source to study photocatalytic reactions.

Yet\, while structural i maging has advanced dramatically\, mapping functional fields–\;su ch as charge\, heat\, and spin currents–\;at comparable resolutio n remains a major challenge. Many materials of interest\, from quantum heterostructures to biological and soft matter systems\, are further limited by weak scattering or radiation sensitivity. More dose-efficie nt imaging approaches are therefore essential\, both to reveal fragile nanoscale order and to probe subtle transport and quantum phenomena. In this interactive talk\, I will introduce computational diffractive imaging with electrons–\;a framework that reconstructs informatio n from scattered electron patterns using physics-based inverse algorit hms–\;as a pathway to overcome these limitations. I will frame th e method as an inverse scattering problem and compare the efficiency a nd sensitivity of various computational imaging strategies. Particular emphasis will be placed on their implications for time-resolved studi es and for imaging quantum and functional materials. I will highlight the conceptual connection between iterative and direct ptychography\, show how tilt-corrected bright-field STEM emerges as a quadratic appro ximation to direct ptychography\, and present a new algorithm that ena bles robust information recovery from sub-sampled measurements.

Applications include both forwa rd and inverse problems as well as forward problems\, for example para meter identification or modeling of structure-property relationships. The talk will give an overview over a variety of solutions that benefi t from the capability of artificial neural networks to approximate and interpolate complex relationships that are represented by a set of sp arse data. The reason behind is that numerical simulations as well as experiments do often not allow to generate enough data such that the d ata set is not sufficient for a deep-learning approach in connection w ith the complexity of the problem at hand. After a short introduction to artificial neural networks along with recommendations for data gene ration and feature engineering\, the talk will cover a range of exampl es from nanoindentation and material parameter identification\, the im provement of characterization techniques by ML correction methods towa rds recent problems in the prediction of structure-property relationsh ips for materials with complex microstructure. All these examples have in common that a successful ML model typically requires a comprehensi ve understanding of existing knowledge\, expertise in translating this knowledge into meaningful input features\, a compact ML architecture\ , and robust validation of the trained model.

There is pressing need to address major challenges related to the bone diseases. The incidence of bone fractur es is increasing globally and bone grafting now stands as the second m ost prevalent tissue transplantation. In addition to increased number of bone fractures/defects\, bone cancer is one of the cancers with the lowest long-term survival rate. Further\, bacterial resistance is a p ersistent global issue driven by the uncontrolled use of antibiotics. It seems that the long feared postantibiotic era is here\, urging new methods to fight infections. Most scaffolds developed for bone regener ation lack anticancer and antibacterial functionality\, highlighting t he urgent need for multifunctional scaffold designs. The possible solu tion is to treat patients with biomimetic scaffolds based on calcium p hosphates multi-substituted with different trace elements to obtain a multifunctional scaffold for bone regeneration with antibacterial and anticancer properties. The impact of the selected trace elements\, dif ferent scaffold compositions\, and designs was evaluated to gain deep insights into physicochemical properties as well as osteogenic potenti al using human stem cells. The effect of trace elements was investigat ed\, and selective anticancer properties were determined when selenium was used as a substitution element. Furthermore\, the antibacterial e ffect against multidrug-resistant bacteria from clinical isolates was investigated for a wide selection of elements\, confirming silver as t he gold standard.
