Published: June 2019

This is a report on the development of an automated precision load-based measurement setup for thermoelectric power (S) of different types of samples in the temperature range of 5-330 K. The problems in the old spring-based setup have been solved in this load-based setup. This setup takes nearly 4 h for each run, and the typical error is within 5%. High quality calibration has been demonstrated using high purity platinum wires and cylinders.

Among the numerous measurements carried out during a well-logging procedure, the Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) assessment is one of the fundamental analyses in determining the economic viability of a well for the oil industry. Nowadays, two reliable approaches, Wireline Logging (WL) and Logging While Drilling (LWD), stand out. WL comprises the acquisition of NMR data under static conditions.

The challenge of imaging low-density objects in an electron microscope without causing beam damage is significant in modern transmission electron microscopy. This is especially true for life science imaging, where the sample, rather than the instrument, still determines the resolution limit. Here, we explore whether we have to accept this or can progress further in this area.

Controlling the structure of polymer solutions near a solid surface is crucial for many industrial processes as it significantly impacts solution flow and influences slip at the interface. To date, only a few techniques have been developed to experimentally investigate this type of interface at the nanometric scale of solid/liquid interactions. In this study, we probe the interface between a smooth sapphire surface and a semidilute polystyrene solution, using neutron reflectivity.

Measurements of changes in fluorescence signal is one of the most commonly applied methods for studying protein-ligand affinities. These measurements are generally carried out using cuvettes in spectrofluorometers, which can only measure one sample at a time. This makes screening procedures for multiple ligands and proteins extremely laborious, as each protein must be measured with multiple ligand concentrations, and usually in triplicate.
