Introduction to X rays as a probe of matter, materials and processes
The video titled "Introduction to X-rays as a Probe of Matter, Materials, and Processes" features Luigi Paolasini from the European Synchrotron Radiation Facility (ESRF). In this presentation, Luigi Paolasini provides an overview of X-rays, discussing their discovery and evolution from X-ray tubes to synchrotron radiation sources. He explores how X-rays interact with matter, emphasizing their ability to probe electronic structures and material properties. The talk also highlights various applications of X-rays in studying materials and processes across different scientific fields.
NEPHEWS Project
(NEutrons and PHotons Elevating Worldwide Science)
Improved research infrastructure and scientific endeavours have the potential to propel innovation forward and significantly enhance the quality of life for populations. With this in mind, the EU-funded NEPHEWS project aims to broaden access to advanced neutron, synchrotron, and free-electron complementary research infrastructures across an expanding range of countries. The project will collaborate with its user base to develop a user-driven access program focused on enhancing the accessibility and usability of the research infrastructures (RI) for diverse communities. Additionally, it will offer a wide range of experiments, provide expert training, and conduct virtual and in-person workshops and collaborations. Finally, the project will facilitate political dialogue and advocate for research funding.
