Hierarchical materials, which contain structural organisation at many different length scales, are an important aspect of biomaterials and natural systems. Recent developments in technology, for example additive manufacturing, are enabled by the power of structural hierarchies. A Bonse-Hart diffractometer provides an effective means of bridging the gap between real space, imaging, and...
Neutron imaging is an invaluable tool for many applications where X-rays fail to provide sufficient contrast, or penetrate at all. Together with recent achievements in high-resolution detectors and the development of advanced imaging techniques, many novel fields of applications become possible. High resolution neutron imaging has shown great potential in the optimization of the water...
Magnetic systems are a fertile ground for the design of novel quantum and topologically non-trivial states characterized by exotic excitations. Recent examples include spin chain and square-lattice low-dimensional antiferromagnets, quantum spin liquid candidates, spin-ice compounds, and unusual spin textures. These systems are not only of fundamental interest, but may also pave the way to new...
