Twitter Takeover

A glimpse into the material science labs

Tong Li routinely handles individual atoms as part of her work. She explains how and why on Twitter.

On 6 June 2019, the RUB’s Twitter account will be dedicated to material science, with Professor Tong Li granting insights into her daily routine. She is, among other things, expert for so-called atom probe tomography. Researchers use this method to render the structure of materials visible atom by atom. Tong Li will be explaining how this process works, which other state-of-the-art research methods are deployed in material science labs at RUB, and what other questions the team looks into. To this end, the RUB account @ruhrunibochum will be publishing tweets in the English language for one day.

The Bochum-based researcher uses atom probe tomography for the purpose of analysing catalysts – including those for hydrogen production, because the manufacture of this potential energy carrier of the future still requires a lot of groundwork.

About the researcher

Tong Li has been Junior Professor for the Characterisation of High-Performance Materials at Atomic Scale at RUB since 2017. In spring 2019, her group joined Twitter as @TemApt, intending to grant deeper insights into its research at the new Center for Interface-Dominated High Performance Materials (ZGH). The research building is currently under construction and its inauguration is scheduled for autumn 2019.

Former Twitter Takeovers

In April 2019, the Twitter community had the opportunity to read first-hand information on IT security research and catalyst research (in German) at RUB. More Twitter Takeovers coming soon.
