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.

Harvesting water vapor from desert, arid environments by metal-organic framework (MOF) based devices to deliver clean liquid water is critically dependent on environment and climate conditions.

The scientific researchers from the University of Sao Paulo Brazil in collaboration with the XAFS/XRF beamline staff of SESAME studied the atomic structure order of emission color-tunable quantum confined semiconductor nanocrystals.

A team of international scientists from China, Germany, Norway and Pakistan with SESAME staff have used the BM08 – XAFS/XRF beamline at SESAME for high dielectric constant materials that are of particular interest as indispensable components in electronics.
