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

~ Matheus A. Tunes ~ Leave a comment

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

Aluminium + Diamond-Like Carbon for Next-Gen Hydrogen Fuel Cells

~ Matheus A. Tunes ~ Leave a comment

Our latest study just dropped as a preprint on the SSRN server: Is Nitrogen Doping of Diamond-Like Carbon Films a Viable Strategy for Bipolar Plates in Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cells? 💡 In this work, we challenge the idea that nitrogen doping improves Diamond-Like Carbon (DLC) coatings. Using a combination of electrochemical testing, electron microscopy, … Continue reading Aluminium + Diamond-Like Carbon for Next-Gen Hydrogen Fuel Cells
