TRAD, Tests & Radiations’ Post

🌟 We are thrilled we are joining the HEARTS project and have met with the representatives of the five beneficiaries and project participants at the HEARTS first annual meeting on February 6 2024 on-site at CERN in Geneva! ℹ️ HEARTS is the "High-Energy Accelerators for Radiation Testing and Shielding" project funded by the European Union. It is intended to establish a European infrastructure for research and industrial access to high-energy heavy-ion facilities for studying radiation effects in electronics, shielding and radiobiology. ➡️ The main aim of Cosylab's contribution is to enhance the quality and quantity of delivered beams and improve the user experience concerning the HEARTS project both at the level of the single heavy-ion accelerator infrastructures and as a mutual service. HEARTS will enable the two main high-energy ion accelerator infrastructures in Europe, GSI and CERN, to work as a unified solution for research and industrial access in the fields of radiation effects in shielding, radiobiology and electronics.

Looking for examples on how companies with R&D activities related to materials properties (material-, life sciences, engineering…) can benefit from experiments at research infrastructures for synchrotron light or neutron scattering, such as MAX IV Laboratory and European Spallation Source ERIC ? This page: https://lnkd.in/d4Qxdq6g make visible both public end-of-reports (as pdf attachments) and collaborative relationships from more than 100 projects co-funded by Vinnova with the aim to increase understanding and capacity for industrial utilisation. Since 2018, more than 90 unique Swedish companies have joined forces with third party supporting experts from Swedish institutes, academia or private R&I suppliers with experience to collaborate with industry and ability to translate the needs into relevant experiments and data transformation into useful results for the company. In all, 15 different neutron- or synchrotron facilities in ten countries have been utilized, but with the majority of the experiments conducted at MAX IV or Petra III at DESY . About 30 projects are still ongoing. https://lnkd.in/d4Qxdq6g

(Courtesy: Dr Ms. Samanta Luis) Fusion is a holy grail for the energy sector, theoretically offering abundant, essentially zero-pollution power in a small physical footprint, without the need to use regional natural resources. There have been many milestones as the technology advances, and a new record in magnetic containment has recently been achieved. The Wisconsin HTS Axisymmetric Mirror research team was able to create and hold a plasma using a magnetic field strength of 17 Tesla through high-temperature superconductor magnets, as Interesting Engineering reported. The magnet systems were delivered to the University of Wisconsin's Physical Sciences Laboratory in Stoughton, Wisconsin, this year by Commonwealth Fusion Systems. The project operates as a public-private partnership with Realta Fusion, Inc., a UW-Madison spin-off company that contributes funding, according to the lab. "It's setting a world record in magnetic field strength for magnetically confined plasmas and is equipped with intense heating systems." #Zeropollutionpower #Ourgreenplanet #Ecosustainability

I fell like at Istituto Italiano di Tecnologia I am sitting in the front row watching how #innovation is changing the world. I started my day working at a TAM-SAM-SOM analysis on Oil & Gas industry to understand the market demand for a software based on #LatticeBoltzmann method. I then discussed with a neuroradiologist and researchers on the cost-price structure of a tech able to understand the nature of an #ischemicictus. Another researcher ask advices on how to set a right balance between patents and publications for his #photonicplatform able to generate and manipulate photons. Finally IP issues related to a platform useful for the analysis on electron microscopy focused on materials for #catalysis. Definitely front row. Popcorn ready.🍿🍿

The imminent introduction of #perovskite-silicon tandems is unlikely, says Prof. Martin Green. I suggest checking this interview with Prof. Green; it is very interesting. https://lnkd.in/ehHed5uy #perovskites #photovoltaics #research #solarcells #solarpv

How do in-situ X-ray diffraction tests work on batteries at a particle accelerator? 🤔 . . . . Hello everyone, today I would like to show you how the commissioning work of in-situ tests on batteries is carried out at the Paineira beamline, located at Centro Nacional de Pesquisa em Energia e Materiais (CNPEM)! The focus of this video was to provide a general overview of how everything unfolds to the public. I am a collaborating researcher at the Paineira beamline and responsible for this commissioning. I am available to answer any questions you may have! #BrazilianScience #SulfurBatteries #Research

📣 Check out this research results carried out by the team of Prof. Farhad Rachidi (Electromagnetic Compatibility Lab) and published in the journal 𝑁𝑎𝑡𝑢𝑟𝑒 𝑆𝑐𝑖𝑒𝑛𝑡𝑖𝑓𝑖𝑐 𝑅𝑒𝑝𝑜𝑟𝑡𝑠. ⚡ For the first time, they have recorded X-rays being produced at the beginning of upward positive lightning flashes; an observation that gives important insight into the origins of this rare – and particularly dangerous – form of lightning. 🎤 “The actual mechanism by which lightning initiates and propagates is still a mystery. The observation of upward lightning from tall structures like the Säntis tower makes it possible to correlate X-ray measurements with other simultaneously measured quantities, like high-speed video observations and electric currents,” explains Electromagnetic Compatibility Lab PhD candidate Toma Oregel Chaumont. 👉 Full article: https://lnkd.in/dM5YJVPw

🎂🍸 Happy birthday Mr. Faraday ✨: Michael Faraday was born 232 years ago on a September 22th Mr.#Faraday was an English physicist and chemist whose many experiments contributed greatly to the understanding of #electromagnetism. Although one of the greatest experimentalists, he was largely self-educated. Appointed by Sir Humphry Davy as his assistant at the Royal Institution, Faraday initially concentrated on analytical #chemistry, and discovered #benzene in 1825. His most important work was in electromagnetism, in which field he demonstrated electromagnetic rotation and discovered #electromagneticinduction (the key to the development of the electric dynamo and motor). He also discovered diamagnetism and the laws of electrolysis. He published pioneering papers that led to the practical use of electricity, and he advocated the use of electric light in lighthouses. hashtag #knowledgesharing #knowledgethatmatters #basiclearning #electricity
