How STMicroelectronics and ISIS@MACH Italia Are Reinforcing Electronics for a New Era
Cosmic radiation might seem like a problem for satellites, but it increasingly affects the electronics we depend on every day. For Francesco Pintacuda, Radiation-Hardened Design Manager at STMicroelectronics, understanding how cosmic-ray–generated neutrons interact with modern semiconductor devices is now essential for the future of electric mobility, renewable energy systems and…
Dermocosmetic research, exploring skin penetration pathways
A collaboration between Arterra Bioscience S.p.A., the ISIS Neutron and Muon Source and ISIS@MACH ITALIA is opening new avenues for understanding how natural cosmetic ingredients interact with the complex layered structure of human skin. For Arterra Bioscience—an Italian biotech company specialising in plant-derived actives—this partnership offers access to analytical tools…
Pink Iguana’s ancient DNA: uncovering the past to protect the future
High on the slopes of Volcán Wolf in the Galápagos lives one of the rarest reptiles on Earth — a large pink land iguana that Charles Darwin himself completely missed. Today, this remarkable animal is at the centre of a research project that brings together field biology, genetics, ancient DNA,…
Testing the resilience of ultralow-power electronics for the Internet of Things
Using ChipIr, researchers have studied how ultralow power system-on-chip is affected by the neutron flux in the atmosphere. This study may be helpful in future design of such devices to be more resilient to particle hits. The type of SoC in this study is a prototype microcontroller designed for IoT…
Building a catalogue of amino acid neutron scattering interactions
Researchers have completed an in-depth characterisation of the thermal neutron cross sections of all twenty amino acids, developing a new model that can be easily applied to other organic materials. The knowledge of the scattering cross section of amino acids is important when investigating the interaction of neutrons on biological systems during…
Investigating hydration and preservation in ancient Egyptian leathers
New research from our ISIS@MACH ITALIA collaboration has uncovered information on the hydration levels in a collection of ancient Egyptian artifacts. In this paper researchers used a variety of neutron and laboratory experiments to investigate these effects on a collection of Egyptian leathers dated to 2700 BC – 600 AD.
Recreating the physical and chemical condition of Mariana Trench on Earth
Scientists from Rome Tor Vergata and ISIS have used the Vesuvio spectrometer to unravel part of the mystery behind the physical and chemical conditions of the Mariana Trench - one of the most extreme environments in the world. By using deep inelastic neutron scattering (DINS) they were able to measure…
Uncovering the Antioxidant Secrets of Extra Virgin Olive Oil with Neutrons
Extra-virgin olive oil (EVOO) is one of the most important ingredients as well as the main source of lipids in the Mediterranean diet. It is known to contain biologically relevant phenolic components with recognised health-beneficial properties.
Uncovering the Secrets of Ancient Egyptian Leather with Neutrons
Ancient leather artefacts from Museo Egizio have been studied by combining optical and spectroscopic tools (SEM-EDS, XRF-RAMAN), more sensitive their surface composition, and neutron spectroscopy, able to better probe their bulk.
Testing Small Satellite Electronics Under Neutron Radiation
Electronic devices of industrial interest for nano-satellite applications, have been irradiated to assess their reliability to single event effects (SEEs) caused by neutron irradiation at ISIS and SIS@MACH ITALIA facilities.
