Xradia VersaXRM-410 Enables Nondestructive Characterization of Microstructure of Composite Materials

Xradia, Inc. is announcing the expansion of its lab-based VersaXRM family to bridge the gap between high-performing 3D X-ray microscopy (XRM) solutions and traditionally lower-cost, less capable projection-based computed tomography (CT) systems.

Scientists Detect Magnetic Fingerprints of Interface Defects in Silicon Solar Cells with Atomic Resolution

In theory, silicon-based solar cells are capable of converting up to 30 percent of sunlight to electricity - although, in reality, the different kinds of loss mechanisms ensure that even under ideal lab conditions it does not exceed 25 %.

Researchers Successfully Analyze Genome of Archaeal Cells

Single-celled archaea are invisible to the naked eye, and even when using a microscope, great care must be taken to observe them. An international team of researchers led by the Center for Geomicrobiology, Aarhus University, Denmark, has nevertheless succeeded in retrieving four archaeal cells from seabed mud and mapping the genome of each one.

NSF Awards Grant to Study Oxygen Consumption Rates of Individual Cells Using Photoacoustic Microscopy

When scientists study cells, they need to know how much oxygen each cell consumes to determine its metabolism. However, existing technology limits this study to groups of cells, not individual cells. Lihong Wang, PhD, plans to change that.
