News and featuresMaterials for energy in the next ESRFnews
08-03-2010
The March issue of the ESRFnews will devote most of its space to research on materials that contribute to a greener future. Fuel cells, hydrogen storage materials, or the design of the batteries of the future are some examples of the stories in this … (08-03-2010) Understanding tendons at all levels
22-02-2010
Tendons are multi-level fibre composite materials that transfer muscle forces to the bones. They are made up of collagen and have a hierarchical structure. In daily activity, tendons modulate fluctuating physiological loads through a time-dependent m … (22-02-2010) New-look Users' Meeting attracts more users
12-02-2010
The ESRF Users’ Meeting has always been a forum for the users and the management, where new scientific challenges are discussed and recent achievements are presented. This year there have been more talks in different fields in order to cater for a … (12-02-2010) |
Spotlight on scienceSoft X-ray holographic microscopy
09-03-2010
Magnetic imaging with nanoscale domain resolution is now possible thanks to a new way of carrying out soft X-ray holography. The key feature of this microscopy-like imaging technique is a movable field-of-view that can be freely positioned on the sam … (09-03-2010) Bonding in high-pressure solid CO2 revealed by single-crystal diffraction
23-02-2010
Solid carbon dioxide undergoes a radical change from a molecular solid to a non-molecular “polymeric” state at elevated pressures and temperatures [1]. The polymeric state is characterised by the disappearance of the double bonds between the carb … (23-02-2010) Ultrafast laser switching in a photochromic film visualised by time-resolved X-ray diffraction
09-02-2010
A [2+2] photo-cycloaddition reaction in an organic crystal film was triggered by a fast laser pulse and studied with X-ray diffraction. This reaction and its thermally-activated reverse reaction were followed on the picosecond timescale, and intricat … (09-02-2010) |
