This year, seven grants were awarded. Each comprises SEK 15 million over five years. One of the grants has been awarded to Justinas Palisaitis, principal research engineer at the Department of Physics, Chemistry and Biology (IFM). He works within ARTEMI (Atomic Resolution TEM Infrastructure of Sweden), a national piece of infrastructure in advanced electron microscopy, funded by the Swedish Research Council.

“My role is to facilitate access to the advanced microscopy tools within ARTEMI and to develop dynamical microscopy investigation methodologies which will be offered to the user community. With this grant, there are exciting times ahead!” says Justinas Palisaitis.

Electron microscopy enables researchers to investigate materials in extreme detail – down to subatomic precision. The method is a crucial tool for materials research at LiU and is employed in the development of materials needed for the transition to a more sustainable future. Possible applications are, among others, energy storing, production of hydrogen gas for energy production and carbon capture and storage.

A new advanced electron microscope is on its way to ARTEMI. If everything goes according to plans, it will be installed next year.

“It will enable the investigation of materials with unprecedented spatial and chemical resolution, which is currently unavailable at LiU. The microscope will make a significant contribution to the ongoing and planned research on the novel sustainable materials,” says Justinas Palisaitis.

How AI changes human decision-making

AI can find patterns that people miss, but it does not automatically lead to better decisions. New research from 一本道 University shows how the roles of humans and AI change depending on the situation and the decision being made.
