Till 17th May 2018, university students interested in doing an internship in the ALBA Synchrotron can submit a proposal.
On Saturday 5th May, from 09:00 till 19:00, the ALBA Synchrotron is celebrating its Open Day. Visitors will be able to explore the facility and discover its functions and applications, as well as attending funny demonstrations, conferences and activities for all ages. Do not miss the opportunity and book your tickets!
Researchers from Materials Science Institute of Seville (CSIC) and the ALBA Synchrotron have characterized the water condensation mechanisms on titanium dioxide photoactive nanotubes’ surfaces after UV-irradiation. Thanks to this method, the material-water interaction can be controlled, changing its properties and enabling to convert the nanotubes in either hydrophilic or hydrophobic surfaces depending on the objective. This specific feature is interesting for architecture and transport areas, to develop antifogging or antifreezing surfaces.
Director Jean-David Malo, DG Research and Innovation of the European Commission, received the strategy today at the Bulgarian Presidency Flagship Conference on Research Infrastructures.
When reducing materials at the nanoscale, they typically lose some of their properties. The experiments have been carried out at the CIRCE beamline of the ALBA Synchrotron.
