Project: High-speed in situ nanomechanical tester
| Acronym | HINT (Reference Number: 115232) |
| Duration | 01/09/2021 - 01/09/2023 |
| Project Topic | The project will develop a nanomechanical tester with integrated high-speed image acquisition for use within electron microscopes, resulting in a quantum leap in features and performance and thus fulfilling a market demand for high strain rate (up to 1000/s) characterisation at the nanoscale. Innovations will include purpose-built MEMS force sensors and a STEM imager, enabling dark-field differential phase contrast imaging (DF-DPC) at high speed. |
