• How to make contact between carbon compounds and metals
  

  Organic electronics has already hit the market in smart-phone displays and holds great promise for future applications like flexible electroluminescent foils (a potential replacement for conventional light bulbs) or solar cells that convert sunlight to electricity. A reoccurring problem in this tech more

• SACLA laser sets new record

  RIKEN and the Japan Synchrotron Radiation Research Institute (JASRI) have successfully produced a first beam of X-ray laser light with a wavelength of 1.2 Angstroms. This light was created using SACLA, a cutting-edge X-ray Free Electron Laser (XFEL) facility unveiled by RIKEN in February 2011 in Har more

• New synchrotron technique could see hidden building blocks of life

  Scientists from Finland and France have developed a new synchrotron X-ray technique that may revolutionize the chemical analysis of rare materials like meteoric rock samples or fossils. The results have been published in Nature Materials.Life, as we know it, is based on the chemistry of carbon and o more

• Transport and accumulation of ferrocene tagged poly(vinyl chloride) at the buried interfaces of plasticized membrane electrodes

  Cyclic voltammetry (CV), synchrotron radiation-X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (SR-XPS) and near edge X-ray absorption fine structure (NEXAFS) show that oxidation of ferrocene tagged PVC induces an accumulation of high molecular weight polymer at the buried interface between the substrate electrode more

• In situ X‐ray beam imaging using an off‐axis magnifying coded aperture camera system

  An imaging model and an image reconstruction algorithm for a transparent X‐ray beam imaging and position measuring instrument are presented. The instrument relies on a coded aperture camera to record magnified images of the footprint of the incident beam on a thin foil placed in the beam at an obl more

• Automatic processing of macromolecular crystallography X‐ray diffraction data at the ESRF

  The development of automated high‐intensity macromolecular crystallography (MX) beamlines at synchrotron facilities has resulted in a remarkable increase in sample throughput. Developments in X‐ray detector technology now mean that complete X‐ray diffraction datasets can be collected in less than more
