18.07.2014 - New humidity chamber will shed light on processes behind Alzheimer’s disease
A JRA supported by NMI3 is working on a new humidity chamber. The instrument will be used for neutron scattering experiments to reproduce the human body conditions in order to shed light on biological processes such as the development of Alzheimer’s disease. Check out our video and article here !
25.03.2014 - Improving neutron scattering data quality: a multi-angle light scattering setup
During a neutron scattering experiment the sample might degrade and produce wrong results. In our new video, researchers explain their work on a set up to control the sample quality along time so that false data can be discarded. This work will improve the data quality. You can see the video and read the article here .
26.02.2014 - To broaden research possibilities: a new pressure cell
Henrich Frielinghaus and Marie-Sousai Appavou from the JCNS-MLZ are developing a new pressure cell. This work, which is funded by NMI3, will broaden the research possibilities in several scientific fields. You can read the article here.
