Des "camions" ioniques pour le transport massif du platine dans la croute terrestre https://t.co/CAEj84JGc8 Synchrotron et simulations numériques ont été mobilisés pour mesurer la solubilité du platine dans des fluides hydrothermaux de la croûte terrestre.

Cool! From : "An international team of scientists has used high-powered X-rays at the European Synchrotron to show how an extinct South African 200-million-year-old Heterodontosaurus tucki, breathed." https://t.co/re098ys5Qt

This is a fun paper, they used synchrotron microtomography (essentially an X-ray powered by a synchrotron) to scan a piece of Triassic dino coprolite (poop) to 3D image all the beetles hanging out inside. https://t.co/2ti8IYipF2

Synchrotron that .
Lazer it.
Make it DANCE.

Scanning mammal teeth at the SLS again this week. Often, hi-tech methods require low-tech solutions like sticky tape & glue. In this case I'm using florists foam to mount a specimen from to scan.

New paper out on in JHE is for 50 days: https://t.co/0Pq1MlyHOB Also delighted to announce the stunning type specimen scan is now available https://t.co/wHaOXhT6kh Special thanks to Paul Tafforeau & Uganda Museum

I’ve managed to sneak in one pop-culture reference into my academic thesis. Figures summarising synchrotron x-ray florescence (part of accelerator) were inspired by Kirby Dots of Accelerator.

[New Paper] in Proceedings B reveals a new metamorphosis, "cryptometamorphosis", in vent snail Gigantopelta w/ synchrotron CT and 3D anatomy! Young adults transform their anatomy to switch from grazing to relying on endosymbionts.
