Imagic Bildverarbeitung AG and the Materials Engineering Center Saarland (MECS) of Zürich and Saarbrücken, respectively, entered into a strategic partnership in September. The collaboration combines MECS’s expertise in materials science, which bridges the gap between research and industry, with Imagic’s leading software expertise in microscopy, image analysis, and image data management.
Researchers from University of Oxford and Brookhaven National Laboratory have uncovered how exposure to hydrogen atoms dynamically alters the internal structure of stainless steel. Their findings reveal that hydrogen allows internal defects in steel to move in ways not normally possible, which can lead to unexpected failure.
See how a PCB that is dead on arrival is examined by FTIR microscopy using the LUMOS II from Bruker to find and chemically analyze a large crystalline contamination, in accordance with the IEC 61191 standard.
Silicon Valley may have led the digital revolution, but Illinois is emerging as a hub for quantum innovation, dubbed the “Quantum Prairie.” Anchored by institutions like the U.S. Department of Energy’s Argonne National Laboratory, the region is attracting both tech giants and startups focused on quantum information science. Researchers are now harnessing quantum physics—first discovered […]
Engineers at the University of Wisconsin–Madison have developed a versatile new electrolyte that advances the development of an initially anode-free sodium-ion battery—a promising alternative to lithium-ion batteries for electric vehicles and grid energy storage. Led by Assistant Professor Fang Liu and PhD students Qianli Xing and Ziqi Yang, the team is also using this electrolyte […]
