The first ARTEMI user meeting was held at Chalmers University of Technology

The first ARTEMI user meeting was organized by Chalmers University of Technology (CTH) and held on February 5, 2025, both in-person in Gothenburg and online. This one-day event brought together the ARTEMI nodes and users from across Sweden to showcase the successful application of ARTEMI in a broad range of scientific fields and the great potential of ARTEMI to benefit more scientists and researchers.

The morning session of the user meeting featured an overview the ARTEMI project by Per Persson (Linköping University (LiU)), followed by node presentations from LiU, Uppsala University (UU), Stockholm University (SU), KTH Royal Institute of Technology (KTH), Lund University (LU), and CTH. Each node showed their state-of-the-art instrumentation and technical expertise. The afternoon session showcased research projects by a few representative ARTEMI users. These user projects are on very different scientific topics, but they all benefited from the advanced electron microscopy capabilities that ARTEMI offers, including atomic resolution imaging, tomography, composition mapping, ultrafast electron diffraction, and in situ TEM. Georgios Sotiriou (SU and Karolinska Institute) presented on flame nanoparticle synthesis for biomedical applications. Wei Xia from UU talked about strong and tough translucent glass matrix ceramics. Henrik Pedersen from LiU showed his latest research on using CVD to perfectly coat carbon nanotubes. Magnus Hårdensson Berntsen (KTH) discussed ultrafast lattice dynamics in a topological crystalline insulator. Henrik Winnikka and Fredrik Weiland from RISE and Luleå University of Technology demonstrated enhanced oxidation of carbon nanomaterials using iron oxide nanoparticles as catalysts. Finally, Saroj Dash from CTH showed latest research on 2D quantum materials with atomic resolution. The user meeting ended with a lab tour to Chalmers Materials Analysis Laboratory (CMAL).

The meeting has attracted many present and potential ARTEMI users and provided an important opportunity for interaction, networking and discussion between ARTEMI experts and users.
