Conference Description
The Liquid Phase Electron Microscopy GRC is a premier, international scientific conference focused on advancing the frontiers of science through the presentation of cutting-edge and unpublished research, prioritizing time for discussion after each talk and fostering informal interactions among scientists of all career stages. The conference program includes an array of speakers and discussion leaders from institutions and organizations worldwide, concentrating on the latest developments in the field. The conference is five days long and held in a remote location to increase the sense of camaraderie and create scientific communities, with lasting collaborations and friendships. In addition to premier talks, the conference has designated time for poster sessions from individuals of all career stages, and afternoon free time and communal meals allow for informal networking opportunities with leaders in the field.
The emergence and rapid growth of Liquid Phase Electron Microscopy (LPEM), which enables in-situ imaging of the formation, structure, morphology, and dynamics of materials in liquids and overcomes the limitations of conventional electron microscopy imaging in high-vacuum environments, has spurred vast excitement across diverse research fields from materials science to chemistry, physics, geology, and biology. This GRC will focus on the advances and challenges in developing and applying LPEM as a powerful emergent in-situ characterization platform to explore the frontiers of research in nanoscience and nanotechnology, energy and environmental sciences, as well as chemical and electrochemical sciences, among other fields. Topics include (but are not limited to): innovative technical developments of liquid cells, sample stages, and microscopy methods; advanced data analysis using artificial intelligence; beam-sample interactions and radiation chemistry; breakthroughs in studying the nucleation, growth, and self-assembly of nanocrystals, molecules, metal-organic frameworks, and organic materials; electrochemical interfaces and dynamics; materials degradation in solution processes; solid-liquid interfaces; imaging of biological samples; theoretical and experimental advancement in imaging, understanding, and predicting phenomena enabled by liquid phase electron microscopy.
The topics, speakers, and discussion leaders for the conference sessions are displayed below. The conference chair is currently developing their detailed program, which will include the complete meeting schedule, as well as the talk titles for all speakers. The detailed program will be available by September 27, 2025. Please check back for updates.
