The group is honored for establishing innovative new instrumentation and software to measure microstructure and dynamics in materials over many length scales and under real-world conditions. Their achievement, illustrated through key application studies, provides a new window into materials’ behavior that fosters their deployment into energy, building, and other technologies. The new tools have been incorporated into a facility that leverages the powerful x-rays at Argonne National Laboratory, and are now a sought-after resource for industrial, government, and academic scientists nationwide.
