Clean hydrogen made from seawater and sunlight could help power Australia’s net‑zero future.
Discover research led by Prof. Zongyou Yin @scienceanu.bsky.social, supported by expert microscopist @rfwebster.net from our UNSW facility – enabled by NSW govt & #NCRIS.

What if your TEM could run #microED and solve structures on its own?
Just insert your sample—watch the structure appear.
No human picks. No manual tweaks.

Not the eels I was looking for google!!
I've definitely been guilty of a bit of vegetative electron microscopy, those late night elemental maps on an old LaB6 'scope definitely warranted a few naps between drift correction stage bumps. Not sure if I'd brag about them in the method section though. retractionwatch.com/2025/02/10/v...
My favourite view of the microscope 🔬, with it's pants off!! This is a JEOL F200 transmission electron microscope (TEM) and under the table you can see the CMOS camera made by Gatan which we use for imaging and 4D STEM!
Having a color-blind colleague is a good reminder that we need to be more careful when designing figures for scientific publication 🧪
My lab has found this page especially useful for selecting color palettes, used in combination with different symbols: thenode.biologists.com/data-visuali...
📣 JOB ALERT📣 Our UNSW Sydney facility is looking for a Technical Officer (to Jan 2026) to support bio/cryo sample prep and SEM/TEM user training. Join a lovely team in a busy core facility that specialises in electron microscopy!

Australian in-laws will tease you forever if you call them a red belly black spider....
I have just realised that the nursery rhyme about 5 little pigs that went to market is more about making sausages than it is about having little adventures.

2 x Cats: decided at 5:30 am they can't stand each other and can't be in the same room without serious fighting

Thanks Jamie! The energy spread is tied up in the "focal spread" variable for simplicity, but maybe V2 will expand that out and have more adjustable variables...
I've started the roll out of some interactive tools for electron microscopy on my website, the first of these to be released is an interactive Contrast Transfer Function plotter: rfwebster.net/tools/CTF useful for understanding the resolution and contrast in your HRTEM images!
Making a new website with react... Watch this space for something simple but hopefully useful to the microanalyst...

Got to ride a different light rail line to work today!
Today I learnt that an Australian (cape) gooseberry is different to an English one.

Love it when the atoms line up for me

Getting ready for baby, I'm using my #raspberrypi pico w as a #micropython nursery monitor with air quality and tog recommendations for the Australian summer!
Benefits of having an Australian wife and not personally being allowed to vote in the country I live: democracy sausage!
Just going to throw this around - what if any company making over $1b/yr had to pay 50%. How would Coles and Woolies survive?
It was nice of Dell to include this free hand warmer, but I wish there was also one for my right (mouse wielding) hand!
Beginning to like this AI drawing thing!

Lol!
Screenshot of a news article entitled "Qantas half-yearly profit falls by 13 per cent to $873 million"
I'm struggling to read this any other way than: Quantas profits drop because they stopped overcharging.
My unintentional hobby breeding bright orange mystery snails in my fish tank 🐌
Time to wake up 3 cold FEGs!
