    Advancing high-resolution X-ray technology

    ERC Consolidator Grant awarded to Prof. Julia Herzen

    23 November 2023 | Prof. Julia Herzen is awarded an ERC consolidator grant for her project DEPICT. She aims to develop a physical model to advance high-resolution X-ray imaging on the micrometer scale and thus be able to determine the composition, distribution, and the amount of individual substances in the samples at such high resolution.
