Congratulations to Alex Wang, awarded the Belinda and Chip Blankenship scholarship.
Saturday, April 23rd, 2022, our laboratory spaces were opened to the public.
Demonstrations by NMCF scientists and students were given during UVa's School of Engineering and Applied Science (SEAS) Open House, which included engineering school building tours and program visits.
This year's tours featured NMCF's new FEI Themis High-Resolution Scanning Transmission Electron Microscope (HR-STEM), the Helios Focused Ion Beam and Scanning Electron Microscope (FIB-SEM), the X-ray Diffraction Laboratory with both powder and single-crystal diffractometers (XRD) on display, as well the Versaprobe III Imaging X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopic (XPS) Microscope.
Expert student users and scientists spent time describing each sophisticated instrument and materials characterization methodology, providing real-world examples to participants, as well as demonstrating the type of data acquired and answering questions.
Stephen McDonnell, University of Virginia assistant professor of materials science and engineering, and Costel Constantin, James Madison University associate professor of physics, have launched a research project that could lead to more responsive touch screens.
Alen Korjenic earned the Marcel Pourbaix Prize (2nd) for his top poster in corrosion science presented at the Association for Materials Protection and Performance 2022 annual conference.

Researchers at UVA and James Madison University have teamed up to test economically viable materials for hydrogen fuel cells, a promising option to decarbonize the transportation and logistics sectors.
AZtecTimed is now AZtecFlex and for students the licence is discounted, from ($1,399.00) to ($139.00). For more information on how to access this discount as a student, click here.
AZtecFlex is a 12-month personal subscription licence for installation on your desktop or laptop, designed to let you use AZtec anywhere and without needing to access shared facilities.
AZtecFlex includes advanced data processing features, for example, particle analysis and EBSD data processing, allowing you to access them even if they aren’t enabled on the system used to acquire the data. Your licence will also provide access to the latest AZtec release as soon as it is available.
Tutorials and Demos can be found here.
