NSIGHT is a Python-based software tool for processing and reducing 2D grazing-incidence wide- and small-angle X-ray scattering (GIWAXS/GISAXS) data. It offers the geometric transformation of the 2D GIWAXS/GISAXS detector image to reciprocal space, including vectorized and parallelized pixel-wise intensity correction calculations. [...]

Because of the detrimental effects of excessive exposure to solar ultraviolet radiation (UVR) on human skin health, wearable UVR detectors have attracted more and more attention. Inspired by the artwork “Tian-tsui hair pin with flora decoration” from the Palace Museum, a reversible and photochromic peony-shaped hairpin is designed to realize the visualized detection of solar UV radiation.

The marine cyanobacterium Prochlorococcus is a main contributor to global photosynthesis, whilst being limited by iron availability. Cyanobacterial genomes generally encode two different types of FutA iron-binding proteins: periplasmic FutA2 ABC transporter subunits bind Fe(III), while cytosolic FutA1 binds Fe(II). [...]

From April 3rd to 5th 2023, more than 90 participants of the DAPHNE4NFDI consortium met on the DESY campus in Hamburg. Overall, 25 different German and European institutions were represented on-site, with users across diverse communities including physics, chemistry, biology and engineering, linked by a common interest in synchrotron radiation- and neutron-based advanced techniques at large-scale facilities. [...]

The Standard Model of Particle Physics encompasses our current understanding of particlephysics. However, due to its limitations, one of the goals of modern experimental physics is to probe the model further and look for physics beyond the Standard Model.One approach is to conduct precision physics experiments in free neutron beta decay.Precise measurements of the decay parameters from the decay provide a complementary approach to high energy searches.
