What is it about?
Improvements in the energy resolution of electron energy-loss spectroscopy make it possible to detect vibrational (phonon) modes of inelastic scattering, with a spatial resolution determined by the delocalization of the scattering.

Why is it important?
Distinguishing chemical bonds with high spatial resolution provides important information about the molecular or atomic structure of a material.
Perspectives
The article predicts that the vibrational signal will be dominated by dipole scattering and have a spatial resolution limited by the delocalization of the scattering and by radiation damage.
