Understanding the structure and evolution of matter at the nanometer and atomic scales is central for discovery and innovation in science and technology, accelerating advances in materials science, condensed matter physics, chemistry, biology, engineering, geology, and medicine. This Science and Technology Center (STC) aims to advance and integrate different imaging modalities using electron, X-ray, optical, and nano-probe microscopy to collectively tackle major scientific challenges. It brings together an interdisciplinary team from University of Colorado at Boulder; Universities of California at Berkeley, Los Angeles, and Irvine; Florida International University; and Fort Lewis College, in partnership with national laboratories, US industries, and international collaborators.Education and Diversity: This STC develops, implements, assesses, and disseminates new programs to educate a diverse group of students to be innovative and globally competitive in imaging science and technology. It focuses particularly on two signature efforts: (i) new multidisciplinary graduate certificate and degree programs and (ii) multi-year, cross-institutional undergraduate, master's, and Ph.D. degree programs. The center's education activities are designed to realize the following version of the future: K-12 students will apprehend the exciting opportunities of science and engineering careers. Undergraduate students will appreciate the connections between different areas of science and engineering, as well as the relation between these fields and industry. Ph.D. graduates will acquire expertise with depth and breadth to innovate, lead team research, and create new technologies through entrepreneurship.Knowledge Transfer: This STC aims to manifest through national and international leadership in cutting-edge imaging science, highly-needed diverse graduates trained in multidisciplinary science, and a plethora of hybrid/adaptive imaging modalities and tabletop systems, enabling new science to emerge in the upcoming decades, as well as technology transfer to industry and emerging startups. Faster, higher-resolution and more sensitive imaging techniques will benefit a wide range of scientific disciplines as well as various industrial sectors, which can directly translate technological advances to improving the economy and the standard of living.Technical Description of the Center Research:A major goal of this STC is to address key cross-cutting challenges common to all imaging modalities and tackle science grand challenges across different disciplines. When advances in high-speed direct detectors, advanced algorithms, big-data manipulation methods, new light and electron sources (including tabletop coherent X-ray sources), and spectrally/spatially/temporally structured illumination are integrated, they can fundamentally transform imaging science to enable real-time three-dimensional functional imaging. In addition, by combining electron with optical imaging, or coherent X-ray imaging with ultrafast lasers, or coherent infrared spectroscopies with nano-probe imaging, scientists in this center investigate new hybrid and adaptive imaging modalities that far exceed current capabilities. An expected outcome is creation and integration of a new set of powerful and broadly applicable real-time imaging modalities that can image non-crystalline systems and implement dynamic imaging with a large field of view with chemical and magnetic contrast and with atomic/molecular/nanoscale resolution. Each imaging technique will be brought to reach its fundamental limits and integrated in hybrid/adaptive modalities that surpass the sum of the parts.

了解物质在纳米和原子量表上的结构和演变对于科学技术的发现和创新是核心，加速了材料科学的进步，凝结物理物理，化学，生物学，工程，地质和医学。该科学技术中心（STC）旨在使用电子，X射线，光学和纳米探针显微镜来推进和整合不同的成像方式，以共同应对重大的科学挑战。它汇集了科罗拉多大学博尔德大学的跨学科团队；伯克利，洛杉矶和尔湾的加利福尼亚大学；佛罗里达国际大学；刘易斯堡学院（Fort Lewis College）与国家实验室，美国行业和国际合作者合作。教育与多样性：该STC开发，工具，评估和传播新的计划，以教育一群不同的学生在成像科学和技术中具有创新性和全球竞争力。它尤其着重于两项签名工作：（i）新的多学科研究生证书和学位课程以及（ii）多年，跨机构本科，硕士和博士学位。学位课程。该中心的教育活动旨在实现以下未来版本：K-12学生将逮捕科学和工程职业的激动人心的机会。本科生将欣赏不同科学与工程领域之间的联系，以及这些领域与行业之间的关系。博士graduates will acquire expertise with depth and breadth to innovate, lead team research, and create new technologies through entrepreneurship.Knowledge Transfer: This STC aims to manifest through national and international leadership in cutting-edge imaging science, highly-needed diverse graduates trained in multidisciplinary science, and a plethora of hybrid/adaptive imaging modalities and tabletop systems, enabling new science to emerge in the即将到来的几十年，以及技术和新兴初创公司的技术转移。更快，更高分辨率和更敏感的成像技术将使广泛的科学学科以及各种工业领域受益，这可以将技术的进步直接转化为改善经济和生活水平的技术。对中心研究的技术描述：该STC的主要目标是解决与所有影像学模态和跨越不同的挑战的关键交叉挑战，这是一个不同的挑战。当高速直接探测器，高级算法，大数据操纵方法，新的光和电子源（包括桌面相干X射线源）以及光谱/空间/时间结构结构的照明的进展时，它们可以从根本上进行成像，它们可以从根本上转换成像科学来实现实时的三维函数型。此外，通过将电子与光学成像或连贯的X射线成像与超快激光器或连贯的红外光谱与纳米探针成像相结合，该中心的科学家研究了新的混合和自适应成像方式，这些新混合和自适应成像方式远远超过了电流功能。一个预期的结果是创建和集成了一组新的功能强大且广泛的实时成像方式，它们可以对非结晶系统进行成像，并以化学和磁对比度以及原子/分子/纳米级分辨率实现动态成像。每种成像技术将被带入其基本限制，并集成到超过零件总和的混合/自适应方式中。
