ASEAN Battery Technology Conference’s Post

China is poised to unveil its cutting-edge High Energy Photon Source (HEPS) by year’s end, boasting some of the world’s most powerful synchrotron X-rays. With a staggering investment of 4.8 billion yuan (approximately US$665 million), this facility marks a significant milestone for Asia, propelling China into the elite league of nations with fourth-generation synchrotron light sources. Situated in Huairou, near downtown Beijing, the circular HEPS facility is a hive of activity as researchers meticulously calibrate thousands of components. These efforts are geared towards creating a light source capable of delving deep into samples, unveiling their molecular and atomic structures in real-time. HEPS will revolutionize scientific research with its production of high-energy X-rays, facilitating the precise probing of samples at the nanoscale level. Compared to third-generation synchrotrons like the Shanghai Synchrotron Radiation Facility, which boasts a circumference of 432 meters and stands as China’s most advanced working synchrotron, HEPS will offer a time resolution 10,000 times superior. Upon its scheduled opening in 2025, HEPS will provide researchers with access to 14 beamlines catering to diverse fields such as energy, condensed matter physics, materials innovation, and biomedicine. Plans are underway to expand this capacity to accommodate up to 90 beamlines in the future. Tao claims that the HEPS facility will “impact every scientific field, except maths.” A synchrotron light source is a powerful machine that generates electromagnetic radiation. It’s part of a particle accelerator called a synchrotron, where particles move in a loop. This radiation, which is used for scientific and technical purposes, is made by speeding up electrons in the accelerator. Then, the electrons pass through magnets and special devices called undulators or wigglers, which create strong magnetic fields. These fields help turn the energy of the electrons into light, like X-rays. In simple terms, synchrotron light sources use magnets to guide particles in a circle and electric fields to make them go faster. #energy #electrons #light #magnetism #synchrotron #xrays #science https://lnkd.in/gSVkHD7H

https://lnkd.in/eKsVwtrN IEEE ICEAA 2024 - Lisbon Sept. 2 to 6, 2024 RF-2S Team | IEMN CNRS UMR 8520 | IRCICA has developed a recognized expertise in six-port technology for nondestructive testing applications. Exploring the Potential of Six-Port Technology in Microwave Nondestructive Testing: Current Status and Future Directions Abstract— Since its introduction in the late 1960s, six-port technology has served as a valuable tool for determining the amplitude and phase of microwave signals. This purely passive technology offers adaptability at high frequencies, extending its applicability up to the terahertz (THz) level. However, its historical limitation in sensitivity has hindered its competitiveness against traditional vector network analyzers. Despite this drawback, six-port technology possesses exceptional phase-resolution capabilities, which render it suitable for addressing emergent applications. This work outlines the evolution of six-port technology, highlighting its strengths and potential for innovative solutions in microwave nondestructive testing and beyond.

Orbitronics: Advancing Towards Energy-Efficient Electronics A recent study at PSI Paul Scherrer Institut sheds light on orbitronics, a field that could significantly impact the development of more sustainable electronics. Unlike traditional electronics that rely on the charge of electrons, or spintronics that uses their spin, orbitronics leverages orbital angular momentum (OAM). This could enable the generation of strong magnetization with minimal charge currents, leading to energy-efficient devices. The research highlights chiral topological semimetals, materials that can naturally support the flow of OAM without requiring external fields. These properties make them ideal for designing stable and efficient electronic components. However, scaling the production of such materials and achieving consistent OAM flow remain challenges that researchers are working to address. While orbitronics is still emerging, its potential to reduce the energy footprint of electronic devices is promising. As more discoveries unfold, this approach could pave the way for next-generation technologies that align with global sustainability goals. #Orbitronics #SustainableTech #EnergyEfficiency #MaterialsScience #Innovation

#CERN has enabled Europe to lead the world in high-energy physics, accomplishing what no single country could sustain alone. Its flagship project, the Large Hadron Collider (#LHC), has cemented Europe’s leadership in particle physics. – “The future of European competitiveness”, a report by Mario Draghi, published by the European Commission on 9 September 2024.   The report looks into the future challenges faced by the industry and companies in the European Union. It highlights the importance of research and technology infrastructures as drivers of innovation, and suggests, among other things, investing into CERN’s future: “Refinancing CERN and ensuring its continued global leadership in frontier research should be regarded as a top EU priority, given the objective of maintaining European prominence in this critical area of fundamental research, which is expected to generate significant business spillovers in the coming years.” Find out more and download the full report: https://lnkd.in/eAk84kkG

Scouting state-of-the-art research infrastructure in Japan This Tuesday marks the start of the J-PARC Symposium 2024 in Mito, just northeast of Tokyo. It also marks the start of four interesting days for Jacob Becker-Christensen, CEO of LINX, who is there to learn about the capabilities of a state-of-the-art research infrastructure: Japan's great spallation neutron source. The symposium is organized by J-PARC, the Japan Proton Accelerator Research Complex, which operates the Japanese spallation neutron source (JSNS). This machine is much like the European Spallation Source ERIC, ESS, which is currently being built right on Denmark’s doorstep in Lund (Sweden). As such the symposium is an ideal scouting opportunity of future industry opportunities much closer to home. The event brings together researchers and experts from around the globe to discuss groundbreaking research and innovations reached via neutron-based analysis techniques. The scope ranges from materials science, chemistry and nanoscience to hardcore particle physics. One key aspect is interdisciplinarity, covering research in fields such as medical technology and energy systems. Additionally, the symposium includes social activities to foster networking and partnerships between participants. It usually gathers 200-300 attendees from across the world. But first Jacob attends the Welcome Reception, held in the afternoon on Monday at the grand music hall in Mito, the venue of the symposium. Beautiful surroundings for a feast of science and innovation. #JParc2024 #Innovation #Neutron #Materialevidenskab #Teknologi #GrønOmstilling #Japan #science, #materialscience #industry, #partnerships #Mito

A couple of weeks ago heata supplied 1% of the computing for a live experiment at CERN! 👉 https://hubs.la/Q02YlyQ30 The potential here is huge. In addition to influencing where these workloads are placed today, governments could choose to support the construction of heat reuse compute infrastructure to meet the processing needs of tomorrow. Imagine CERN experiments providing free hot water for homes across the UK for years to come... It’s possible, we could be giving this heat to people, rather than wasting it. At heata we are committed to a smarter energy future, where the waste heat from compute supports the need for heat in society.
