NOMATEN Suppliers Day
CoE NOMATEN 2024 started with a workshop with industrial companies, where the Centre's competencies and research capabilities were discussed and the research infrastructure at NOMATEN was presented. One of the objectives of the meeting was also to discuss the possibility of cooperation with companies in the modernisation of the MARIA research reactor at the NCBJ and conducting joint research and projects for the development of the energy sector in Poland.
NOMATEN HYBRID-SEMINAR, JANUARY 9th, The application of flow cells and computational fluid dynamics for improved corrosion and electrochemical analysis
Hydrodynamics can play a critical role in the degradation of materials, often defining the rates and mechanisms by which metals corrode. To improve the understanding of the relationship between fluid flow and corrosion, precise and well characterised experimental techniques are required. The application...
NOMATEN HYBRID-SEMINAR, DECEMBER 19th, Atom Probe Tomography Studies of Nuclear Materials
Atom probe tomography (APT) is a unique analysis technique providing chemical analysis with near atomic resolution in 3D. Here, recent APT research on nuclear materials performed at Chalmers University will be presented. Zirconium alloys are used as fuel claddings in nuclear reactors and undergo degradation due to corrosion, hydrogen pick-up and irradiation damage. Using APT...
NOMATEN ONLINE-SEMINAR December 5: Structural and functional diversity of venom toxins interacting with GPCRs
Peptide toxins from venoms have undergone a long evolutionary process allowing host defense or prey capture and making them highly selective and potent for their target. This has resulted in the emergence of a large panel of toxins from a wide diversity of species, with varied structures and multiple associated biological functions. In this way...
NOMATEN HYBRID-SEMINAR, NOVEMBER 21st, Phase-field modelling of microstructure evolution in displacive transformations
Displacive transformations, like deformation twinning or martensitic transformation, are associated with microstructure evolution, which involves nucleation, propagation and annihilation of interfaces. For instance, the functional properties...

NOMATEN ONLINE-SEMINAR November 7: Laser and Optical Methods and their Development for Modern Innovative Technological Applications: from Civil Nuclear to Historical and Cultural Art Heritage
Modern science and technologies and their rapid intensive development are in search for innovative efficient methods in a wide range of their applications. Laser and optical methods may offer a numbers of attractive features, such as being contactless, remote, non-destructive, real time and in situ applicable. LANIE laboratory...
NOMATEN HYBRID-SEMINAR, NOVEMBER 2nd, Alpha-decay damage in natural apatite: buildup and recovery mechanisms for thermochronological applications
Thermochronology is an earth science discipline involved in the reconstruction and timing of past geological processes. In this field, rock accessory minerals such as apatite are collected and their thermal histories (temperature vs. time) reconstructed to study landscape evolution and mountain-building processes. One of the low-temperature techniques...
