Characterizing Emerging Detector Materials for Low‐Dose X‐Ray Imaging
Advanced Materials, Volume 37, Issue 45, November 13, 2025.X‐ray medical imaging requires detectors that deliver images at as low as reasonably possible dose. This perspective outlines a universal characterization framework of X‐ray imaging detectors, suitable for both emerging semiconductor and scintillator materials, introduces a novel unified figure of merit that links dose with resolution, and offers an ...

Dietary effects on multi-element composition of European eel (Anguilla anguilla) otoliths [PDF]
, 2009 Otolith microchemistry is widely used as a tool to track individual migration pathways of diadromous fish under the assumption that the elemental composition of fish otoliths is directly influenced by the physicochemical properties of the surrounding ...

The Pace di Siena and its Gems
Journal of Raman Spectroscopy, Volume 56, Issue 11, Page 1254-1278, November 2025.For the first time, the gems of the Pace di Siena, a rare en ronde bosse enamel preserved in Arezzo (Italy), have been analyzed using a transdisciplinary approach. The combination of gemmology and Raman spectroscopy has led to the identification of blue sapphires and pink spinels, contradicting previous historical classifications.

Localisation and mobility of trace metal in silver fir needles [PDF]
, 2012 Trace metals (TM: Co, Ni, Cu, Zn, Cd, and Pb) as well as Al, Mn, and Fe content was measured in needles of a remote silver fir stand in the south of France. TM localisation and behaviour in needles was evaluated by measuring total and internal content of

Geostandards and Geoanalytical Research, Volume 49, Issue 3, Page 495-533, September 2025.Key Points Synchrotron nano‐imaging is necessary to locate elemental nanophases. Trace metal quantification requires high sensitivity nano‐XRF. Trace metal speciation relies on nano‐XANES using nano‐XRF. This chapter (Nano‐Imaging for Advanced X‐ray Fluorescence and Absorption Spectroscopy Applications) is a contribution to the Geostandards and ...

Lapis lazuli provenance study by means of micro-PIXE
Nuclear Instruments and Methods in Physics Research Section B: Beam Interactions with Materials and Atoms, 2011 Abstract In this paper we report about the micro-PIXE characterisation of lapis lazuli, for a provenance study of this semi-precious stone, used for glyptic as early as 7000 years ago. The final aim is to find markers permitting to identify the origin of the raw material coming from three quarries in regions of historical importance: Afghanistan ...

Ru‐Based Catalysts Deposited by Atomic Layer Deposition for Non‐Alkaline Zn‐Air Batteries
Batteries &Supercaps, Volume 8, Issue 8, August 2025.This study investigates the use of atomic layer deposition (ALD) to introduce ruthenium (Ru) catalysts on carbon supports, aiming to enhance the performance of non‐alkaline zinc‐air batteries (ZABs). The Ru‐coated cathodes show improved oxygen evolution reaction (OER) kinetics, leading to better capacity and stability, highlighting the effectiveness of
