The path towards a circular economy requires the development and optimization of technologies that will enable society's green transition. Energy materials, catalysts, materials for pollutants and quantum materials are at the heart of these crucial sectors. Advanced microscopy is of enormous importance in the development of new materials. However, the materials mentioned above are often sensitive to the electron beam or influenced by the magnetic field of the TEM, making them difficult to study with advanced TEM investigations. Thermo Fisher Scientific's mission is to make the world healthier, cleaner and safer. An important way of achieving this goal is to support the growing need for atomistic research into materials sensitive to electron beams and magnetic fields. Thermo Fisher Scientific is developing dedicated workflows interconnecting hardware and software innovations. In this contribution, we will highlight and discuss recent software and hardware innovations and workflows, illustrating the power of our solutions through several practical examples.
