Mu-Steel: Muon tomography for environmental protection [PDF]

, 2012
The accidental melting of radioactive sources hidden inside metal scrap containers can produce severe environmental harm. The muon tomography is a technique that allows to discriminate high-Z materials through cosmic-ray muons multiple scattering inside

Lithiation‐Driven LiCrSe2 Shell Growth on Metallic CrSe2 Core Governs the Plateau–Slope Behavior

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 26, 8 May 2026.
Layered CrSe2 is investigated as a lithium‐ion battery cathode combining fast Li+ diffusion and structural reversibility. Calculations and experiments reveal a single topotactic intercalation process with a characteristic plateau–slope profile governed by lithiation‐induced conductivity changes. A core‐shell lithiation evolution underpins its high‐rate

A novel technique to detect special nuclear material using cosmic rays [PDF]

Geoscientific Instrumentation, Methods and Data Systems, 2012
Resistive plate chambers (RPCs) are widely used in high energy physics for both tracking and triggering purposes, due to their excellent time resolution, rate capability, and good spatial resolution. RPCs can be produced cost-effectively on large scales,

Muons tomography applied to geosciences and volcanology [PDF]

Nuclear Instruments and Methods in Physics Research Section A: Accelerators, Spectrometers, Detectors and Associated Equipment, 2012
Imaging the inner part of large geological targets is an important issue in geosciences with various applications. Dif- ferent approaches already exist (e.g. gravimetry, electrical tomography) that give access to a wide range of informations but with identified limitations or drawbacks (e.g.

Spectroscopic Neutron Imaging for Chemically Sensitive In Situ Electrolyte Characterisation

Advanced Energy and Sustainability Research, Volume 7, Issue 5, May 2026.
Chemically sensitive spectroscopic neutron imaging (SNI) spatially resolves composition‐dependent variations in lithium‐ion battery (LIB) electrolytes. The detection of 10% fluoroethylene carbonate (FEC) at 275 μm length scales demonstrates a novel approach for investigating hydrogen environments, electrolyte heterogeneity, and degradation pathways ...

Middle‐Atmosphere Dynamics Observed With a Portable Muon Detector

Earth and Space Science, 2019
In the past years, large particle physics experiments have shown that muon rate variations detected in underground laboratories are sensitive to regional, middle‐atmosphere temperature variations.

Muon Tomography sites for Colombian volcanoes

Annals of Geophysics, 2020
By using a very detailed simulation scheme, we have calculated the cosmic ray background flux at 13 active Colombian volcanoes and developed a methodology to identify the most convenient places for a muon telescope to study their inner structure. Our simulation scheme considers three critical factors with different spatial and time scales: the geo ...

Shear‐Induced Anisotropic Supramolecular Gel Noodles for Improved Cell Guidance in Polarized Tissue Engineering

Small, Volume 22, Issue 26, 8 May 2026.
A simple two‐stage extrusion aligns supramolecular fibrils into 1D gel noodles. The residual pressure in the viscous pre‐gel drives the formation of a thin filament that is locked by Ca2+ cross‐linker into a highly anisotropic segment. The aligned noodles show enhanced tensile strength and guide myoblast elongation along the fiber, mimicking aligned ...

Application of a conceptual model to predict physical activity identity among Canadian adults

British Journal of Health Psychology, Volume 31, Issue 2, May 2026.
Abstract Background Evidence supports the benefits of physical activity (PA); however, many adults do not achieve recommended PA levels. Identity theories have been used to understand PA, but the antecedents of PA identity remain less clear. Purpose This study presents an exploratory test of a conceptual model predicting PA identity strength using ...

Muon tomography: Tracks reconstruction and visualization techniques [PDF]

, 2013
The Muon Portal is a project funded by the Italian Ministry of Research, that aims to develop a system able to detect radioactive materials inside containers, to counteract the illegal transfer, by means of muon tomography. This novel technique bases its
