The Commemoration of the 10th anniversary of Dual Training in Catalonia took place yesterday, May 25th, at the CaixaForum in Barcelona. The ALBA Synchrotron received recognition for its fidelity and commitment to Dual Training. Since 2015, more than 90 students have done internships in ALBA. The event reflected the success of this initiative as well as the recognition of the effort and commitment of companies, schools and students.
In collaboration with CDTI and Induciencia, the ALBA Synchrotron has organized a workshop at its facilities for companies who are specialised in scientific-technical equipment to inform them about the investment opportunities of the facility in the coming years.
Sodium-sulfur batteries are promising electrical energy storage technologies that can serve as a key solution to intermittency problems and can be integrated with renewable forms of energy generation. An international research team has reported the synthesis of micro-mesoporous carbon nanospheres with continuous pore distribution as an efficient sulfur host for sodium-sulfur batteries. The work sheds new light on the progress of the sulfur cathode in sodium-sulfur batteries and provides a promising strategy for the viable design of other metal–sulfur batteries. Experiments at the CLAESS beamline in ALBA allowed determining the sulfur species during charge/discharge processes.
Coinciding with the celebration of the International Day of Light, the ALBA Synchrotron presents a new video with 360° technology that allows the public to make an immersive visit to the facilities of the synchrotron light source. Just by using 3D glasses or moving the cursor around, you can follow the explanations of our guides and look at the details as if you were physically in ALBA. This project has been developed with the collaboration of Fundación Española para la Ciencia y la Tecnología.
Listen now the 5th episode of the ALBA Synchrotron's science podcast, devoted this time on environmental science and sustainability.
