Helium 3 Polariser
This state-of-the-art metastable-exchange optical-pumping helium-3 polarising system enables polarisation-analysis experiments on five of our existing instruments.
Research investigates low activation and low cost superconducting material for magnetic coils in next generation fusion reactors
Distinguished researchers who use synchrotron techniques recognised
Collecting ice cores for research
Dr Andrew Smith has just finished collecting ice cores and snow samples on the summit of Law Dome in Antarctica,
Nanoprobe beamline (NANO) UNDER CONSTRUCTION
The X-ray Fluorescence Nanoprobe beamline undertakes high-resolution X-ray microspectroscopy, elemental mapping and coherent diffraction imaging – providing a unique facility capable of spectroscopic and full-field imaging. Elemental mapping and XANES studies will be possible at sub-100 nm resolution, with structural features able to be studied down to 15 nm using scanning X-ray diffraction microscopy.
Seabird feathers
Advanced imaging reveals unusual, unseen patterns in seabird feathers.
Novel research gives more clues about minerals under pressure within earth or other planets
A study has provided insight into copper sulfate pentahydrate and could give clues to how other hydrated minerals change under the pressures within planetary environments
Nuclear techniques confirm unique biology of human eye lens
2000 year global temperature record published
Lake sediments as environmental archives used in compilation of data.
Tuning thermomechanical properties
Wombat used in study that showed tuneable thermal expansion by controlled gas sorption.
The evolution of molten salt reactors
Molten Salt Reactors (MSRs) are nuclear reactors that use a fluid fuel in the form of very hot fluoride or chloride salt rather than the solid fuel used in most reactors. Since the fuel salt is liquid, it can be both the fuel to produce heat and the coolant to transport the heat to a power plant.
