Samples - Infrared microspectroscopy
The Infrared microspectroscopy microscopes can record spectra from a range of different samples; from thin microtomed sections to polished blocks and embedded particles. This section highlights the types of samples that can be analysed using the IRM beamline
The impact of boron on glass surface properties
Within the bulk structure of such glasses, boron is known to be a key actor, as it exhibits intriguing and composition-dependent changes in coordination state that often drive properties.
Giving waste plastics a second life as high-performance materials
A new study has shown that, rather than being discarded, plastics can be transformed into valuable carbon nanomaterials that help solve both energy and environmental challenges.
