While Darmstadt may lack the instant touristic appeal of Istanbul, Madrid or Warwick, As we look forward to this spring, the title “Data Matters” of John reports that Darmstadt is well worth a visit for its this year’s BCA meeting reminds us of our reliance on data: blend of high-tech modernity and antique charm.

  • Midgley Abstract
    MONASH CENTRE FOR ELECTRON MICROSCOPY SEMINAR Electron tomography – a new perspective for materials microscopy Dr Paul Midgley Department of Materials Science and Metallurgy University of Cambridge Friday 13 July, 2007, 2:00 p.m. – 3.00 p.m. Science Lecture Theatre S11, Bldg 25 Abstract Within materials science and engineering, the push for nanotechnology and the increasing use of nanoscale materials brings with it the need for high spatial resolution imaging and analysis. As the lateral dimensions of a feature approach that of its depth, as is happening for example in many semiconductor fabrication lines, electron microscopy is being pushed towards examining truly 3-dimensional objects and a single projection is not adequate for a complete description. To that end electron tomography has been adapted from the original ideas proposed in the life sciences to meet the needs of the materials scientist working at the nanoscale. Although electron tomography in the life sciences relies on a tilt series of bright field (BF) images exhibiting predominantly mass-thickness contrast, in materials science, for a general crystalline object, diffraction (and Fresnel) contrast very often prohibits the use of (coherent) BF images for electron tomographic reconstruction. Normally, other (incoherent) signals must be used. As such, high-angle annular dark field (HAADF) scanning transmission electron microscopy (STEM) imaging has been developed as the basis for the tomography tilt series and has become the conventional mode for materials-based electron tomography. However, STEM HAADF imaging will not reveal certain important electronic, compositional and structural properties of many materials and so more unconventional modes are also under development.

  • The Dorothy Hodgkin Symposium
    The Principal and Fellows of Somerville College, Oxford together with UNESCO and the International Union of Crystallography request the pleasure of your company at The Dorothy Hodgkin Symposium Celebrating the 50th Anniversary of the award of Dorothy Hodgkin’s Nobel Prize in Chemistry and the International Year of Crystallography Wednesday 29th October 2014 You are warmly invited to attend a one-day symposium that aims to recognise Dorothy Hodgkin’s legacy and mark the award of her Nobel Prize. Her field, crystallography, underpins all of the sciences today and has an extensive range of applications within the agro-food, aeronautic, computer, electro-mechanical, pharmaceutical and mining industries and more. 45 scientists have been awarded the Nobel Prize over the past century for work that is either directly or indirectly related to crystallography, and yet it remains a field relatively unknown to the general public. This year UNESCO has joined forces with the International Union of Crystallography to promote education and public awareness, and we are delighted to contribute to this effort with the Dorothy Hodgkin Symposium. PROGRAMME 2:45 pm Tea & Coffee, Somerville College, Flora Anderson Hall 3:00 pm Hidden Glory, Dorothy Hodgkin in her own words, Somerville College, Flora Anderson Hall A filmed performance of a short, one-woman play about the life and work of Dorothy Hodgkin, followed by Q&A with the playwright Georgina Ferry 4:00 pm Registration, Mathematical Institute, University of Oxford 4:10 pm Welcome, Mathematical Institute,
