A new transmission electron microscope (TEM) at the University of Stuttgart that will be able to make visible tiny pores as small as 1 to 100 nanometers in size. The TEM Spectra-300 from the company Thermo Fisher is one of the most modern instruments worldwide for high-resolution examination of all kinds of materials. It is intended to advance the work of the Collaborative Research Center "Molecular Heterogeneous Catalysis in Confined Geometries" (SFB 1333), but also to be used in battery research and biology, for example.

The SFB 1333 (spokesperson Prof. Michael Buchmeiser) aims to accelerate chemical reactions and to produce particular products as effectively and specifically as in nature. ...
