Organic cooking emissions account for up to 10% of particulate emissions in the UK. But, what happens to them once they're out there?🤔.Research by @unibirmingham used @DiamondLightSou & a laser brought over from the CLF to help tackle this question. ➡️

While installations for the HiLUX labs are underway elsewhere, this little room harbours a very important setup!. This is a miniature replica of the new Ultra laser system which allows scientists test stuff, such as fully automated processes, ahead of the real thing! 🧑‍🔬

These have to be put together in a very particular order. Once finished these will hold all the control equipment for the lasers and experiments. 🧪.This concludes another step in the HiLUX project! ✅.➡️

Specifically designed to fit together like a jigsaw, the gantry that’s part of the HiLUX upgrade has just been installed in the rooms where Ultra A used to be. 🧩✨

It's #NationalColorDay 🌈 a day to celebrate the impact colours have on our lives. "Colours", or wavelengths of light, are /everything/ when it comes to the different types of laser experiments we do. Scientists, what's your wavelength of choice?

The team are adding to the wealth of research they’ve conducted over the years on Li-ion battery degradation, with the hope that it may help lead towards longer lasting battery efficiency in the future. 🔋🌱

The team are using the Ultra setup in the Artemis lab using Kerr-Gated Raman to “gate” out the fluorescence whilst still letting the useful information through.Simultaneously, they’re using Fluorescence Imaging in the Octopus lab to study the nature of the fluorescence itself! 🔬

The @LivUni group is looking at what’s happening inside lithium-ion batteries (like in our phones) as they lose efficiency over time🪫.Li-ion batteries are notoriously hard to study due to the obscuring fluorescence they emit when you try to extract Raman light from them

For the first time ever, a user groups is using our Artemis, Ultra and Octopus facilities simultaneously for one experiment! .Why? Because what they’re studying is an especially awkward specimen…

Today is the National Labs Conference, a hybrid event spanning across multiple STFC sites to highlight the various Research & Development projects going on. It's been great to be able to share what we're up to, as well as hear from the other departments! 🧑‍🔬👩‍🔬
