Sodium-ion batteries are emerging as a promising complement to lithium-ion technology, supported by the advantages of earth abundance, cost-effectiveness, and suitability for stationary and large-scale applications. Realizing this potential requires both the accelerated discovery of new functional materials and the deeper understanding of existing candidates tailored for sodium-ion chemistry.

This webinar will offer insight into the fundamental physics of extreme confinement, and guidance for the design of next generation nanofluidic devices. It is aimed at physicists, chemists, materials scientists, and engineers eager to explore the surprising and exploitable behaviors of matter at the smallest scales.

In this webinar, we will outline inertial confinement fusion (ICF) and inertial fusion energy (IFE) principles, including indirect- and direct-drive schemes; review achievements; and discuss steps toward practical IFE.

In this webinar, we will discuss a modern technique which combines structured illumination with sensitive structured detection, enabling the production of thin, high-contrast, high-resolution optical slices similar to traditional confocal imaging, but with simpler, more flexible instrumentation, based on new LED light sources, advanced aperture correlation methods and a sensitive high resolution sCMOS camera.

Despite a half-century of advancements, global MRI accessibility remains limited and uneven, hindering its full potential in healthcare. Initially, MRI development focused on devices with low magnetic fields—around 0.05 Tesla—but progress halted after the introduction of the more accurate 1.5 Tesla whole-body superconducting scanner in 1983. We developed low-cost MRI scanners that Uses permanent 0.05 Tesla magnets and deep learning.

Driving Innovation in Semiconductor Analysis and Production. Session 2 will explore how innovation is reshaping semiconductor analysis and production. Expect forward-looking sessions on single nanoparticle (sNP) detection using spICP-MS mode, expanding automation in trace-elements workflows, and the role of thermodynamic modelling in optimizing processes.

Directed energy weapons (DEWs) based on lasers and microwaves have been in development for over 60 years but until recently had little military utility. The latest DEWs are electrically powered and are small enough and efficient enough for operation on vehicles. Now military services around the world are building DEWs as tactical weapons and deploying them in real military operations. We explain what's new about the technology and show examples of the new DEWs in the field.

In this webinar, we will introduce the fundamentals of X-ray imaging and present the current state-of-the-art in nanoscale tomography. We will focus on a technique called ptychographic X-ray computed tomography and our recent innovations that enabled the highest 3D imaging resolution to-date.

In this webinar, we describe a new approach to directly see the physics inside a DAC at ultrahigh pressures. The basic idea is deceptively simple: We directly integrate a thin layer of nitrogen–vacancy defects, which serve as quantum sensors, into the diamond surface. We demonstrate the ability to perform optical diffraction-limited imaging of both stress fields and magnetism, with the latter allowing us to image the magnetic field expulsion associated with superconductivity. …
