Michael Schulz (FRM II)18/04/2012, 08:30The well known ANTARES beam line at beam port SR4b at FRM II had to be completely dismantled to give way to a neutron guide to a new neutron guide hall. The newly built beam line ANTARES Upgrade will be commissioned in spring/summer 2012 and will, in addition to nearly identical possible parameters as the old ANTARES, offer many extended new capabilities, such as a second experimental...Go to contribution page

Dr Helen Hermes (Heinrich-Heine-University Düsseldorf)18/04/2012, 09:00The movement of solvents in and through soft and complex matter is not only of fundamental interest but is also important for applications as wide-ranging as drug-delivery, food packaging, oil recovery and water uptake in plants. Solvent flux results in changes in the local composition of a material which can be measured using neutron imaging. The concentration profiles extracted from the...Go to contribution page

Dr Claudia Pantalei (Laboratoire Léon Brillouin, CEA Saclay, F-91191 Gif-sur-Yvette, France)18/04/2012, 09:30Imbibition is the phenomenon by which a liquid is able to penetrate and rise-up into a porous media. This process is often found in everyday life (for instance when a cube of sugar is dipped into coffee) and is of great interest to many areas, from biology and industrial applications through to nanofluidics. Imbibition kinetics have been well known on a macroscopic level since the 19th...Go to contribution page
