NOMATEN HYBRID-SEMINAR April 9: Radiolabeling of biomolecules for applications in PET imaging
Radiolabeled biomolecules are increasingly employed for diagnostic and treatment. Amongst available imaging radioisotopes, fluorine-18 presents many advantages (ease of production, optimal physical properties and short half-life) and is the most commonly used PET isotope. However...
NOMATEN HYBRID-SEMINAR March 24: Design and development of lightweight austenitic steels for high temperature applications
Fe-Mn-Al-C-based lightweight austenitic steels (LWAS) are widely investigated as potential substitutes for conventional Ni-Cr steels to minimise the carbon footprint. However, grain boundary embrittlement by κ-carbide deteriorates the ductility, limiting their extension to elevated temperature properties.
Ultrasound sensitive O2 microbubbles to increase oxygenation in preclinical tumors
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.
NOMATEN HYBRID-SEMINAR February 25: Spectroscopy for Sustainability: The Role of FTIR in Green Technologies
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.
Learning the Language of Crystal Chemistry: Using Concepts from Natural Language to Model Solid State Chemistry
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 for high fluence irradiation testing and characterization of materials
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.
NOMATEN HYBRID-SEMINAR November 20: A multiscale approach to the study of cementite and ferrite structures
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.
NOMATEN HYBRID-SEMINAR November 18: Role of Hydrogen on Burst Behaviour of Zircaloy-4 Cladding under postulated loss-of-coolant accident
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.
NOMATEN HYBRID-SEMINAR November 4: Novel approaches for nondestructive testing of engineering materials
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).
NOMATEN HYBRID-SEMINAR October 21: Catalytic Materials for the Oxidative Removal of Emerging Water Pollutants
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.
