Asynt has developed a novel high-pressure reactor array that integrates directly with their Integrity 10 Reaction Station, enabling scientists to undertake up to 10 independently pressurised reactions (up to 100 barg) in parallel.
Quasicrystals are one of the most peculiar structures in nature. Owing to their characteristics that make them crystal-like yet very distinct, they have been attracting the attention of scientists ever since they were first observed.
The development of new and advanced components of two-dimensional (2D) materials, such as graphene, necessitates tools to characterize their quality.
The semiconductor sector has grown for over 40 years by using Moore’s law. As the size of transistors reduces to one-tenth of the nanometer scale, the quantum effects begin to dominate and lead to issues like heat generation and operation stability.
A study conducted by scientists at Rice University in collaboration with scientists at the Energy Safety Research Institute (ESRI) at Swansea University has shown that single-walled carbon nanotubes can be grown extensively on old newspapers, which is a cheap, environmentally-friendly material.
