Ultrasound sensitive microbubbles filled with oxygen may act as a tissue radiosensitizer. Oxygen from microbubbles can be released locally by an ultrasound impulse, leading to a controlled, local increase in pO2. Temporal changes in tumor oxygenation was measured with OxyChip as an oxygen sensor using Electron Paramagnetic Resonance.
How can infrared spectra help make technologies more sustainable? In this lunch-and-learn session, you’ll see how FTIR spectroscopy connects molecular structure with real-world performance in green technologies. Using practical examples, the talk shows how FTIR is applied in catalysis, battery research, and hydrogen storage, and how spectral information translates into thermal properties such as emissivity—relevant for solar-thermal materials and passive radiative cooling.
The discovery and design of new materials is critical for advancing carbon-emission reducing technologies such as renewable energy and electric vehicles. Experimental discovery of new materials is typically slow and costly, quantum mechanics (QM) calculations have brought computational materials design within reach. However...
Ion beams are invaluable tools for materials qualification and testing across diverse applications, including nuclear power, aerospace, and electronics. In the nuclear industry, the traditionally lengthy process of materials qualification can be accelerated by using ion accelerators to evaluate irradiation damage in newly developed structural as well as functional materials or electronic devices.
One of the materials that will be investigated in the IFMIF-DONES facility is EUROFER97, a reduced activation ferritic/martensitic (RAFM) steel and a European reference steel for the structural components of DEMO.
Climate change and energy security have emerged as the biggest concerns of the present century. As greenhouse gases accumulate in the atmosphere, finding ways to generate power cleanly, affordably, and reliably is becoming an even more pressing imperative. Nuclear power is not a silver bullet, but it is a partial solution that has proved workable on a large scale.
The presentation discusses new developments in damage characterization of engineering materials with ultrasonic waves. Special focus will be given to the inspection of thin-walled structures with guided ultrasonic waves (GUW) and laser ultrasound (LUS).
Water contamination by pharmaceuticals, personal-care products, endocrine disruptors, antibiotic resistance genes, and industrial effluents poses growing environmental and health challenges. Catalytic materials combined with advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) offer effective strategies for the removal and breakdown of these pollutants.
This presentation will be divided into 2 parts.
• The first part addresses a long-debated issue in the scientific community regarding the precipitation of Ni-Mn-Si-rich embrittling phases in reactor pressure vessel (RPV) steels and its potential connection to late blooming phases in irradiated reactor pressure vessel steels...
