We particularly encourage international students to apply. The Cluster explores the dynamics of complex systems, bridging concepts and methodologies for the study of ‘small’ well controlled quantum systems to ever greater length scales and complexity, from large molecules to solid state systems and nano systems. It investigates how new functionalities emerge with the increasing complexity and size of a system and how new functionalities can be generated dynamically. International researchers from different disciplines such as physics, chemistry, and structural biology have joined forces to observe, understand, and control these processes in Hamburg. 𝐑𝐞𝐚𝐝 𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐞  https://lnkd.in/eEtEE8ge Please send your application electronically in a single PDF file to cui.office@unihamburg.de by 15.07.2024. If the application deadline cannot be maintained due to the different international term schedules, it is also possible to submit your application after the deadline (we can consider the application as long as the procedures are not finalized, it might also be necessary to start the scholarship at a later date than 1 October).

📢 Meet the #CONcISE researchers: Heberley Tobón Maya Today, we're thrilled to spotlight one of our Doctoral Candidates. We warmly welcome Heberley Tobón Maya (DC6) to the CONcISE doctoral network! As part of an innovative PhD journey, Heberley is carrying out his research at the Universitat Jaume I in #Castello, #Spain, under the guidance of Prof. Jesus Lancis Saez. Heberley’s research project aims to develop a modular optical system for multiphoton microscopy with structured illumination, using computational adaptive compressive strategies. This research project implies a multidisciplinary collaboration to integrate #adaptive optics technologies, #learning based approaches and multidimensional sensing in an imaging platform designed to imaging both biological and non-biological samples. Heberley will be collaborating with his DC’s partners at FYLA ∞ We Laser The New Industry, Centrum Wiskunde & Informatica, and Consiglio Nazionale delle Ricerche. This research will significantly enhance different imaging fields in research and industry, increasing the efficiency of biomedical devices by optimising gathered information about #biological specimens Interested?

After 10+ months of intense (intense is an understatement) internal review, pre-print of "Visualizing 3D Morphologies and Spatial Heterogeneities of Li after Fast-Charging via In-situ Neutron Tomography" is out: https://lnkd.in/emR-cRyd . Here, we report in-situ 3D characterization of the morphological behavior and spatial heterogeneities of plated, dead, and active Li, using neutron µ-computed tomography with a spatial resolution of 10-15 µm (pixel size ~ 5.74 µm - YES!). From ideation, designing my neutron-friendly battery, pitching to PSI and ETH scientists, traveling alone from Stanford for a 10-day beamtime at two beamlines I had never seen before in Switzerland during COVID-19, developing 3D image processing framework (now publicly available on GitHub) to co-authoring this complex, interdisciplinary work with 12 scientists (from 7 institutes) who are experts in very different fields - this 1 paper has taught me so much about collaborative science! To Anders Kaestner (PSI Paul Scherrer Institut), Markus Wied (ETH Zürich), Jacob LaManna(National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST)), Nghia Vo (Brookhaven National Laboratory), Alison R. Dunlop, Andrew N. Jansen, Bryant J. Polzin, Steve Trask (Argonne National Laboratory), Markus Strobl (PSI Paul Scherrer Institut), Vanessa Wood (ETH Zürich), Michael Toney (University of Colorado Boulder), and Johanna Weker (SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory) for believing in me and this work!

📸 Most synchrotron beamlines are designed to offer imaging or diffraction techniques, with a few that can do both – but not at the same time. Diamond’s Dual Imaging and Diffraction beamline (DIAD) provides both imaging and diffraction capabilities in one instrument. 🦷 A proof-of-concept study at the DIAD beamline demonstrated how the beamline's unique capabilities can be used to consider different options for remineralisation of tooth enamel and to grade them in terms of how well they work. 💡🔍 Find out more in the science highlight below. https://lnkd.in/eShxZshM University of Oxford | University of Birmingham
