This session explores the use of micro-ED to analyze structural changes in sodium-ion battery cathodes, uncovering subtle sodium-vacancy orderings that influence voltage, capacity, and stability, thus shedding light on performance limits of next-generation low-cost batteries. The presenter, Asst. Prof. Joshua Bocarsly, a Chemistry professor at the University of Houston and Principal Investigator at the Texas Center for Superconductivity, researches advanced inorganic materials for batteries, energy, and computing.
This webinar series explores practical X-ray, thermal, and Raman analysis techniques to enhance pharmaceutical research and development. Topics range from crystal structure determination in drug discovery, through thermal and XRPD analysis in preclinical development, to elemental and quality control methods in formulation and manufacturing. It offers valuable insights to optimize workflows and address key challenges across the pharma pipeline.
Learn how RDF and TDF reduce landfill waste and coal use in cement manufacturing through WDXRF-based fuel characterization, sample preparation, and result interpretation to enhance clinker quality, environmental compliance, and fuel blending.
In this conversation, Professor Simon Coles, Director of the National Crystallography Service and Professor of Structural Chemistry at the University of Southampton, explains how modern rotating anode X-ray diffractometry—powered by high-flux sources, advanced optics, and next-generation HPC detectors—achieves synchrotron-level performance in home labs, enabling faster, higher-quality analysis of challenging small molecule crystals and expanding possibilities in structural chemistry.

Nitrogen or Helium Flush Option for ZSX Primus IV/IVi
To reduce operating costs and mitigate helium supply issues, Rigaku now offers a flexible "Nitrogen or Helium Flush" option for liquid sample analysis on the ZSX Primus IV and IVi. This setup allows easy switching between helium and nitrogen atmospheres via quick connectors and software settings.
Use nitrogen to analyze P or heavier elements, conserving helium.
Use helium when analyzing light elements like Si, Al, Mg, or Na.
The optical chamber remains under vacuum, preserving sensitivity.
SQX (standardless analysis) is supported in both atmospheres, with automatic application of the correct conversion factors.
With the RX9 crystal, significant sensitivity improvements for P, S, and Cl are achieved even under nitrogen, enabling accurate analysis without relying solely on helium. For further support, Rigaku offers training, demonstrations, and remote consultation.
Thermal analysis (TA) is rapidly gaining momentum across the EMEA region, highlighted by the 4th Journal of Thermal Analysis and Calorimetry Conference and the 10th V4 (Joint Czech-Hungarian-Polish-Slovak) Thermoanalytical Conference held in Budapest. Researchers and industry experts are increasingly interested in advanced TA techniques such as simultaneous thermal analysis (STA – TG, DTA, DSC), hybrid XRD-DSC systems, and in situ observation methods. These tools offer deeper insights into material properties, phase transitions, and reaction kinetics, benefiting fields from pharmaceuticals and polymers to energy storage and metallurgy.
