Seminars

Li-ion transport and local structural changes are vital in current and future batteries, however hard to monitor on a microscopic level under operando conditions. Here I will present our recent progress in the use of operando Neutron Depth Profiling, operando m-beam diffraction and Nuclear Magnetic Resonance investigating Li-ion and solid state batteries. 

Please note: Due to unavailability of the speaker this seminar will be rescheduled to a later date.

There have been major developments recently in the understanding of the very edge of tokamak plasmas. New experimental analyses, coupled with new heuristic theoretical understanding, has led to a simple and accurate model for the width of the narrow region of plasma that is scraped off the plasma edge and ultimately strikes material surfaces, the Scrape Off Layer or SOL.

The talk will deliver general and most basic information about the impact of neutron irradiation on the properties/performance of the most common fusion materials currently being considered for the application in ITER and beyond.

In the future we will increasingly be surrounded by intelligent technology; both inside our homes as outside on the street, in visible as well as invisible ways. Cars will evolve into iPads on wheels and all kinds of robots will help do our job and take care for the ill and elderly. Living with a private robot will be as common as keeping a pet.
