​New collaboration will develop microscopy techniques for imaging chemical reactions at the atomic scale 

Scientists from the University of Illinois Chicago (UIC), University of Chicago, University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign and Argonne National Laboratory are collaborating on new electron microscopy techniques to allow the imaging of chemical reactions at the atomic scale. The Center for Multimodal Observations for Single Atom Imaging of Chemistry, or MOSAIC, was funded this fall through a $1.8 million grant from the National Science Foundation. 

The collaboration, part of the NSF Centers for Chemical Innovation program, will create “liquid cells” that allow scientists to set up, control and measure chemical reactions under a microscope. The researchers will use powerful, state-of-the-art electron microscopes at UIC to capture these reactions in motion, providing fresh insight into atomic and molecular dynamics.
