PANalytical Expands With Ultramodern X-ray Tube Factory in Eindhoven
PANalytical is the only supplier of analytical X-ray systems that also develops and produces its own X-ray tubes, which are an essential part of the instrumentation. The ultramodern Eindhoven facility has been built to further strengthen and exploit this technological advantage.
Researchers join two diamondoid structures to create the longest carbon-carbon bond
Research by a team from two European universities and SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory shows that attractive forces between other parts of a molecule can make a stretched bond joining two carbon atoms much more stable than expected. This result should lead to improvements in how scientists design new molecules, materials and catalysts.
New material synthesized: graphene nanoribbons inside of carbon nanotubes
Physicists have found an efficient way to synthesize graphene nanoribbons directly inside of single-walled carbon nanotubes.
Researchers find potentially worrisome effects of carbon nanoparticles in kidney cells
A study by researchers from the schools of science and medicine at Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis examines the effects of carbon nanoparticles on living cells. This work is among the first to study concentrations of these tiny particles that are low enough to mimic the actual exposure of an ordinary individual.
