Materials in Focus
Policy Focus
Brexit leaves UK scientific research community in uncertainty
Many scientists campaigned against “Brexit” on the grounds that the UK is a major beneficiary of the EU’s support for research.
OF INTEREST TO THE MATERIALS COMMUNITY
Cleanup technologies following Fukushima
Melted fuel debris must be cleared and stored, thousands of tons of contaminated water must be managed, and the reactors must be protected to stop any more radioactive material from escaping. Only then can engineers get to the heart of the problem—decommissioning.
Taking engineering to industry
Becoming CEO of Rolls-Royce has taken Warren East CBE FREng from electronic chips to jet engines. This change in industries isn’t as dramatic as it might seem as, after all, they both operate at the cutting edge of engineering. As he explains to Michael Kenward OBE, it is the engineering that matters, but then you have to turn it into something that can be commercialized.

NEW PRODUCTS FOCUS
New Economical Probes for Routine AFM Measurements |
Asylum Research recently announced the release of the new economical atomic force microscope probes—Econo Board Probes. These probes are available in eight different models, are budget-priced that rival the performance of more expensive premium probes, making them suitable for nearly all routine AFM measurements, and since they are inexpensive, they are also perfect for training or education.

Compact, Research-grade Spectroscopy System |
|
Princeton Instruments announces the launch of the FERGIE™ spectroscopy system. FERGIE is a fully integrated, aberration-free spectrograph with a built-in, low-noise, cooled detector. Featuring a trim profile, FERGIE provides the high sensitivity and low noise needed to address a wide range of spectroscopy applications. Its ecosystem of easy-to-use accessories, which includes everything from lasers, fiber optics, and calibration sources to the ingeniously designed family of light-coupling FERGIE CUBES, allows scientists, educators, and engineers to put together complete experiments in a matter of minutes.
