Electron Diffraction: Hot Topic in Crystallography
What are electron diffraction and nano-crystallography and why are they so important for scientists, researchers and industry? A comprehensive round-up for scientists in academia and industry about a disruptive nano-analytical technology.
Ute Kolb (Univ. Mainz), Mauro Gemmi (IIT, Pisa), Tim Grüne (Univ. Vienna) and Bernd Hinrichsen (BASF, Ludwigshafen) form ELDICO's recently installed board. The kick off meeting went online. Read more

ELDICO Scientific, The Electron Diffraction Company, is a Swiss hardware company founded 2019 and is located in Switzerland Innovation Park Innovaare at the Paul Scherrer Institute (PSI), one of the world's leading research centers for natural and engineering sciences. ELDICO develops, produces and sells electron diffractometers for the analysis of solid compounds enabling industrial and scientific researchers to characterise hitherto unmeasurable nano-crystalline systems. So far conventional methods (X-ray) fail, because they require bigger crystal sizes, which are often difficult or even impossible to produce. With support of the Nano Argovia Programme and the Swiss Nanosience Insitute (SNI) the proof-of-concept was achieved in 2018 (ETH Zurich, C-CINA Basel) on scientifically and industrially relevant samples.
