Innovative X-Ray Diffraction Technologies from inXitu

This short video details how inXitu have used funding from NASA and other government bodies to develop innovative x-ray diffraction (XRD) technologies for the analysis of materials both terrestrial and extra-terrestrial.

They have developed technology that is being used on the NASA 2009 Mars science lab mission. A by-product of this is a portable XRD instrument called "Terra" that can be taken on site to perform materials analysis.

Other technologies that they are working on are a portable NDT examination tool for examining artworks in situ, a baggage screening system and an air purification technology using carbon nanotubes for cathodes for future space missions.

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?

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.
