It should probably be mentioned here that the same technique has also been published a day before by a different team of scientists at

https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1002/anie.201811318

In contrast to what the authors have claimed in the early version of the online preprint at chemrixv (and what is echoed in this article) amorphous materials CANNOT be analyzed using microED. MicroED (= 3D Electron Crystallography) is based on a diffraction experiment employing electrons, which require at least one crystalline particle for the diffraction experiment to work!

All false mentions of "amorphous samples" should therefore truly be called "microcrystalline samples" or "microcrystalline powder".
