New Preprint: Unlocking Nanoscale Detail in Aluminium Alloys with DPC Segmentation

We are pleased to share our latest preprint, now available on arXiv: Unlocking nanoscale microstructural detail in aluminium alloys through differential phase contrast segmentation in STEM (arXiv:2603.11643). In this work, we show how differential phase contrast (DPC) imaging in scanning transmission electron microscopy can be turned into a powerful, quantitative tool for characterising the microstructures … Continue reading New Preprint: Unlocking Nanoscale Detail in Aluminium Alloys with DPC Segmentation

Paving the Way for Hydrogen Energy with Carbon Felts

We are pleased to share our latest research, now published in Applied Surface Science. This study led by Ahmad Alem explores the use of radio frequency (RF) oxygen plasma as a powerful tool for functionalising the surface of carbon felts – materials with significant potential in energy storage, catalysis, and environmental technologies. By systematically varying … Continue reading Paving the Way for Hydrogen Energy with Carbon Felts
