This is very nice. If you use x-rays, consider RT.

After all these years, Ning Chen is still awed by the “stories” that X-ray spectroscopy generates at the HXMA beamline. “You see the dynamic, changing process – you see how a battery is dying or how a catalyst is working. It’s very colorful.” Full story: bit.ly/4dArWUL

#OnTheBeamlines: Queen Elizabeth I was a life-long user of Venetian ceruse, a white lead #makeup. But was it toxic? A @mcmasteru team used the CLS to learn why some 16th-century makeup might have been dangerous. More: facebook.com/CanLightSource/… #synchrotron #history #ElizabethI
