The 25th National \"Safety Production Month\" in 2026: Everyone should talk about safety and know how to handle emergencies; identify and address potential risks and hazards. -------------------------------------------------- Let’s praise and support the achievements made in China’s chemical technology and equipment sector. Your participation in discussions is the greatest encouragement. **********************[Ten Years of Development in Chemical Equipment] Continuous updates and summaries available; feel free to join the discussions at https://bbs.hcbbs.com/thread-3576046-1-1.html ***************** High-end scientific research instruments are an important foundation for achieving technological self-reliance and ensuring technological security. Currently, scientific research is advancing towards the ultra-microscopic scale. The transmission electron microscope (TEM) is a powerful tool for exploring the microscopic world, and it serves as a key instrument in fields such as advanced materials, energy and chemical engineering, and life sciences. However, for nearly a century, transmission electron microscopes have relied on manual operation, facing bottlenecks such as low efficiency, strong subjectivity, and difficulties in statistical quantification. To overcome this critical bottleneck and achieve independent development of intelligent electron microscopes through a strategic breakthrough, the team has been dedicated to research on the intelligentization and integration of software and hardware for transmission electron microscopes. In collaboration with the research team led by Researcher Han Zhi from the Shenyang Institute of Automation, Chinese Academy of Sciences, they developed an algorithm for a \"fully autonomous sensing-analyzing-controlling universal intelligent transmission electron microscope system.\" Building on this foundation, they overcame five key technical challenges: high-vacuum sample transfer in an embodied intelligent system, autonomous adjustment of electron optical imaging, intelligent positioning of nanoscale samples, autonomous image acquisition and real-time analysis, as well as overall system status monitoring and coordinated control. As a result, the world’s first intelligent transmission electron microscope system was developed – \"Aeye-1.\" This system acts like a wise eye that penetrates the atomic world, enabling fully automated and intelligent operation across the entire process of sample transfer, imaging, and analysis. In practical applications, taking the microscopic structure analysis of catalysts such as molecular sieves as an example, \"Yuyan-1\" analyzes 168 samples of molecular sieve catalysts and similar materials on average per day, captures over 4,000 images, and is capable of generating professional analysis reports that contain large amounts of quantitative statistical data regarding factors such as the precise size of particles, their degree of dispersion, and crystal structure ； Image analysis efficiency is more than 300 times higher than that of manual methods. The amount of data generated by this system in two weeks is equivalent to that produced by a conventional transmission electron microscope in one year. This achievement marks the first time that transmission electron microscopy has moved from being operated manually to functioning entirely autonomously through AI, providing a valuable model for the intelligent use of high-end scientific instruments. It is expected to supply large-scale, high-quality structural data continuously for fields such as energy chemistry, materials genomics, and life sciences, thereby supporting a paradigm shift in research driven by artificial intelligence and enabling humans to explore the ultra-microscopic world with greater precision and clarity.
