Crossroads of Ideas: LEAPing Forward

Local electrode atom probe (LEAP) is a novel analysis technique combining both 3D imaging and precise atomic-scale chemical composition measurements. Exclusively developed by CAMECA, the atom probe is a prime example of Wisconsin innovation and discovery and has led the way in major materials science advancements. In this Crossroads of Ideas event, Dr Katherine Rice, Applications Lab Manager at CAMECA Instruments, shares an introduction to this technology, some of the fun applications of LEAP, and the way UW-Madison and Wisconsin played a pivotal role. This lecture was moderated by Shelly Grandell of UW-Madison MRSEC.
