What is this? It's a pollen grain from a lily flower! The pollen was cross-sectioned using a focused ion beam, revealing the structures of the exine, intine, matrix, and pores. This image was taken at MAS using a scanning electron microscope at 3500x magnification. Pollen, of course, is necessary for pollination and reproduction, creating new seeds which will grow into new flowers. #MASTest #LilyFlowers #YayScience #Microscopy Image description: This is a grayscale image of a cross-sectioned pollen grain from a lily flower, showing the grain's exine, intine, matrix, and pores. The image was taken at 3500x magnification with a scanning electron microscope.

To assess the long-term aging of real-world battery cells, scientists at Argonne have employed nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) - a technique commonly utilized in medical imaging - https://bit.ly/3CmwPDb “The application of NMR to batteries has been limited to date,” said Baris Key, an Argonne chemist. “But with our powerful new capability, I hope that it will become ‘bread and butter’ for researchers and manufacturers who want to probe the long-term evolution of their batteries without opening them up. We can study technologies that are already or nearly commercialized.”

The analysis of rare earth element (REE) ores using XRF can be rather complex due to the line-rich x-ray fluorescence spectra. Based on new and powerful deconvolution algorithms SPECTRO’s ED-XRF flagship, the SPECTRO XEPOS, is well suited of such samples. It can provide qualitative and quantitative information about the elemental composition of a sample, including the REEs, without the need for complex sample preparation or chemical separation. https://lnkd.in/eRqqgPpV #XRF

Electrosynthesis is a powerful tool for redox chemistry but historically this method has been limited to direct current, its steady voltage making these processes easy to control. By contrast, the constantly switching polarity of alternating current introduces a huge number of additional variables, meaning reactions under these conditions are much harder to optimise. However, Aiwen Lei and his team at Wuhan University have now used these additional variables to carefully tailor AC waveforms to specific catalytic cycles, allowing them to direct a single copper-catalysed C-H transformation to give either an alkynylation or difunctionalisation product. In my latest story with Chemistry World, Long Luo explains how manipulating the shape of the electrical signals enabled the team to achieve this impressive selectivity and David Cantillo shares what this could mean for the wider field of electrosynthesis. https://lnkd.in/enqADv76 #Electrosynthesis #AC #CopperCatalysis #Waveforms #CHTransformations

Avalanches, various stages of tissue development and factory flow lines all share a common tipping point – the point at which grains switch between flowing like a fluid and jamming like a solid. https://lnkd.in/dYHZYTaG While people have figured out how to determine this point for rigid particles (the wonders of statistical physics!) particularly in mechanobiology this isn’t always the case, and factoring that squishiness into theoretical calculations gets mighty complicated. That is why Samuel Poincloux at Aoyama Gakuin University and Kazumasa Takeuchi at the University of Tokyo created an experimental model that was easy to work with and easy to observe what was going on. And with it they landed on a theoretical criterion for the switching between fluid-like and solid-like behaviour that is surprisingly simple. Huge thanks to Kazumasa Takeuchi and Samuel Poincloux for taking the time to talk to me about this at length, and Jonathan Bares and Christopher S. Chen, MD, PhD for sharing their thoughts.
