The Laboratory for the in-site characterization of nanomaterials by electrons (INE) at EPFL focuses on understanding the nanoscale properties of functional materials using in situ transmission electron microscopy techniques. They study nucleation, growth, phase transformations, surface reconstructions, and degradation mechanisms of nanostructures. INE investigates how nanomaterial properties are influenced by temperature, electric field, and different environments, with implications for designing electrochemical storage systems and computing devices.
