Oxford Instruments X-Max Silicon Drift Detector Shortlisted for Prestigious MacRobert Award for Engineering

Oxford Instruments’ X-Max Silicon Drift Detector has reached the final stage of the 2013 Royal Academy of Engineering MacRobert Award. The X-Max large area detector is used for Energy Dispersive Spectrometry (EDS), a technique used to chemically analyse samples no thicker than a human hair inside a Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM). Examples include the analysis of semiconductor contaminants, gunshot residues and even nanomaterials.

Novel Material Utilizes Nanometer-Scale Structures to Make Paper Repellent to Liquids

Paper is known for its ability to absorb liquids, making it ideal for products such as paper towels. But by modifying the underlying network of cellulose fibers, etching off surface “fluff” and applying a thin chemical coating, researchers have created a new type of paper that repels a wide variety of liquids – including water and oil.

Nano-Scale Analysis Explains Difference between Glass and Molten Materials

Many solids are produced from melting. Depending on how quickly they cool off, invariably, internal tensile stresses begin to build up. One example are Prince Rupert's Drops, or Dutch tears: you can hit their thick end with a hammer without breaking them while a slight pressure applied to their thin end is enough to shatter the entire tear.
