TXPES marks the installation of SESAME’s first beamline to be constructed by one of its Members.
Highlights
Non-invasive analysis of vitreous artifacts from Anatolia’s past at the BEATS beamline.
A novel method for producing eco-friendly bioplastics directly from agricultural waste studied at the IR beamline of SESAME.
The beam commissioning and installation of the multilayer optical elements the BEAmline for Tomography at SESAME were completed in October and November 2023, thanks to the combined efforts of multiple SESAME teams.
A recently published article of drug interactions with the human Stratum Corneum (SC), shows the pivotal role of the IR beamline of SESAME in enabling a comprehensive investigation into how certain pharmacologically active drugs, designed for transdermal delivery, interact with the protein components of SC.
The CERN/NASA Open Science Summit "Accelerating the Adoption of Open Science" was held at CERN in Geneva, Switzerland, from 10 to 14 July, in the framework of the 2023 Year of Open Science.
Researchers from the New York University Abu Dhabi (NYUAD), the Max Planck Institute for Solid State Research in Stuttgart, Germany, and the MS/XPD beamline of SESAME have published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America (PNAS) a study of the mechanism used by Athel tamarisk (Tamarix aphylla), a xerophyte tree that grows along watercourses in arid areas, to capture water.
XEOL is an X-ray photon in/optical photon out technique that is related to the conversion of the X-ray energy absorbed by the materials to optical photons, involving multi-step energy transfer cascade processes. XEOL is now available at the end station of BM-08 XAFS/XRF beamline with emission spectra measurement capability under irradiation with X-ray beam.
A close collaboration between the Jordan Museum, SESAME and Yarmouk University used the non-destructive synchrotron-based X-ray Fluorescence (SR-XRF) at the BM08-XAFS/XRF beamline in SESAME to examine and analyze three Byzantine plaster figurines from Jordan Museum.
