Researchers at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) have combined standing-wave photoelectron spectroscopy (SWPS) technique with high ambient pressure photoelectron spectroscopy (APPS) technique to create standing wave ambient pressure photoelectron spectroscopy (SWAPPS) - a new technique for study of chemical elements at heterogeneous interfaces.
Chancellor George Osborne, in his Autumn Statement, has announced that a new £235m national research and innovation centre in advanced-materials science is to be established at the University of Manchester.
National Physical Laboratory (NPL) researchers have designed a new technique for identifying the defective areas in photovoltaic (PV) cells with the help of ‘compressed sensing’, PV cells or solar panels are being widely employed with the increasing demand for sustainable solutions and reducing costs. Effective characterization of PV cells is a critical parameter in the quality control process during the manufacture of these cells.
Scientists at the Development Center for X-Ray Technology EZRT have designed an advanced X-ray detector called MULIX, which can be incorporated into industrial computed tomography (CT) systems. The X-ray detector is built on the design of medical X-ray machines. Its adjustable curvature improves image quality and at the same time enables excellent flexibility, thus making it possible to adapt the device to different material properties and sizes of test objects.
The Scientist magazine has chosen the Leica TCS SP8 STED 3X as one of the Top 10 Innovations 2014 that will change the way life scientists work.
We are all familiar with ordinary magnets in the form of metallic rods, horseshoes, or bars. However, magnets do not necessarily have to be made of metals or metal oxides. Researchers have also been exploring molecular m...
A new whitepaper detailing how new ICP-OES spectrometer technologies are substantially cutting operating costs in environmental, industrial, and academic laboratories is available to download from SPECTRO Analytical Inst...
Scientists at Stony Brook University have successfully made structure measurements of uranium dioxide (UO2) in molten form. Till now, molecular dynamics and physical property measurement models have existed for molten UO2, but as they had been parameterized from their properties in the solid-state, significant differences were observed in their melt structures. As the structure was not certain, the molten UO2 models showed varying characterizations of physical properties which are critical for the safety of a nuclear reactor.
A research team from Uppsala University has developed an imaging method to study biological particle structures using X-ray lasers. They used carboxysome – a tiny cellular organelle in photosynthetic bacteria to test the method. The results showed that the technique provides an in-depth knowledge in understanding the structure of smaller organisms through 3D imaging.
The €5,391,158.80 HEALCON European Project aims to develop self-healing concrete for improving the durability of structures. The partners in the project are studying PU-based polymer precursors, bacteria and superabsorbent polymers as materials for self-healing concrete.
