HTTP:: Microscale Research Lab to Get XPS System
--------
Researchers at the University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB) Department of Physics have all the reason to be joyful. They recently received a $431,200 grant from the US National Science Foundation (NSF) that will be used to purchase an advanced, highly specialized imaging system, the first of its kind to be installed in Alabama. The planned X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy System (XPS) has the ability to image objects at the microscale, and experts at the university are thrilled to have this chance to conduct more research on tiny objects and interactions.“The UAB acquisition of imaging XPS will create a unique experimental facility that should have many positive implications for advancing research in many disciplines, from physics and chemistry to biomedical engineering and materials science,†explains physicist Yogesh Vohra, PhD. He is one of the two directors for the new project, alongside physicist Andrei Stanishevsky, PhD. The direct beneficiary of the new device w!
ill be the UAB Center for Nanoscale Materials and Biointegration, where a new material-characterization facility will be developed, around the XPS instrument.“There are similar XPS systems being used right now in Alabama to analyze the critical features of micro- and nano-scale materials, but the equipment we will bring to UAB ...
