High-Energy Heavy Ion Collisions from Particle Accelerators Suitable for High Precision Spectroscopy

Calculations at the Max Planck Institute for Nuclear Physics and the Vienna University of Technology (Institute for Theoretical Physics) have now shown that high-energy heavy ion collisions at large particle accelerators are suitable as light sources for the desired single and double pulses. This is due to the remarkable properties of quark-gluon plasmas.

inXitu's BTX Benchtop XRD/XRF Analyzer Set to Change Solid Fat Content Analysis

The analysis of Solid Fat Content (SFC) has traditionally been determined using low resolution (20MHz) NMR spectrometry, which can provide total fat content but not the measurement of the polymorphic triglyceride (TGA) phases. inXitu’s BTX benchtop XRD/XRF analyzer is set to change this.

The Current State of the Global Semiconductor Market

The global semiconductor market has entered an exciting period. Demand for chip technology is both driving the industry as well as hindering it, with current chip shortages predicted to last for some time. Current trends will likely shape the future of the industry, which is set to continue to show

How are Graphene Batteries Made?

The primary distinction between graphene-based batteries and solid-state batteries lies in the composition of either electrode. Although the cathode is commonly changed, carbon allotropes can also be employed in fabricating anodes.

What Role Will The IoT Play In The Electric Vehicle Industry?

In recent years, the IoT is rapidly being introduced into almost all sectors, but it has particular importance in the EV industry.
