Using amorphous solid electrolytes opens up new possibilities for overcoming the limitations on ion transport found in crystalline halide structures. Nevertheless, achieving superionic Na⁺ conductivity in these types of materials remains an unsolved problem. Are you curious whether amorphization involving mixed anions is an effective design strategy for high-performance sodium-ion solid electrolytes? Be sure to…
We are delighted to announce that research group led by prof. McGimsey, composed of members of the SYLINDA team, conducted unique research using SR-XRF and XANES techniques to test two intriguing hypotheses regarding the mounds on the Louisiana State University campus in the United States – whether the mound was built in two phases, separated…
The hottest news from the Sylinda group! We are delighted to announce that Dr. Lulu Alluhaibi, who joined the Sylinda team in 2023, is a co-author of an outstanding paper published in the Science journal Photocatalytic C=C bond cleavage is an important route to oxygenated compounds, but conventional methods rely on hazardous oxidants or O₂.…
Do you know how important research on boron clusters is? If not, you should dive into a publication led by prof. Adam Slabon, which discusses the synthesis of compounds containing the complex anion [Au(B₁₁H₁₁)₂]³⁻ and derivatives of [M(B₁₁H₁₁)₂]³⁻ (M = Cu, Ag and Au). One of the important measurements was conducted on…
New publication affiliated with Sylinda has been published in the Nature/ Scientific Reports! Research on air pollution caused by fine particulate matter (PM2.5) is of great importance in the context of air pollution indicators and human health. The study conducted by a group led by Prof. Lucyna Samek therefore focused on K-edge analyses of…
We are pleased to announce that a new publication has been published in Nature Portfolio Journals – Communications Materials, authored by Dr. Dora Zalka, an ASTRA beamline scientist. Dr. Zalka is the first scientist who performed operando XANES experiments at S K-edge (2472…
We are pleased to announce that the report of the International SYLINDA Symposium organized from 7th to 8th of March 2024 at SOLARIS has been published! If you want to go back to this incredible meeting where the biggest brains of X-ray absorption spectroscopy techniques had the opportunity to discuss and share their knowledge with…
We would like to announce, with the tear in the eye that the Sylinda project, which carried us through 42 months of marvelous collaboration with partners from ALBA, HN and UBO gave us the opportunity to grow and get to know each other better, has come to an end. On June 30, 2024, the Sylinda…
We have opened registration for the upcoming Sylinda Symposium, planned for 7th – 8th March 2024! The hybrid event will focus on X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) and will will feature presentations from leaders of scientific groups from world top universities and beamline scientists from synchrotron light sources around the globe. You can find more information…
A fourth issue of the Solaris News has been published . This time, we focus on the X-ray multimodal imaging technique, and the update from the project team on the pilot experiment with the cosmetics industry completed within the framework of the Sylinda project. We also report on our participation in the Life Science Open…
