'The quest for making better materials is ultimately linked to understanding the role of each individual atom in its place and its chemical environment. Three pioneers in the field guide us through a comprehensive scenario of how this can be achieved by combining the two most advanced atomic-scale characterization techniques: atom probe tomography and transmission electron microscopy.' Joachrim Mayer, RWTH Aachen University
