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…
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.
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.
Heavy Concrete for Radiation Shielding: A Powerful Combination
A unique combination of scanning electron microscopy to look at the atomic level details of heavy concrete, and its neutron shielding properties. However, the concentration of barite (BaSO4) in heavy-weight concrete needs to be tuned to determine the optimal shielding properties in a mixed γ -ray and neutron radiation environment.
