The National Ignition Facility, or NIF, is a laser-based inertial confinement fusion (ICF) research device under construction at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory. NIF uses powerful lasers to heat and compress a small amount of hydrogen fuel to the point where nuclear fusion reactions take place. NIF is the largest and most energetic ICF device built to date, and the first that is expected to reach the long-sought goal of "ignition", when the fusion reactions become self-sustaining.
Measuring Tooth Discoloration from Coffee with HPLC
December 11th 2024Researchers measured bovine tooth enamel samples with colorimetry, high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), and ultraviolet-visible (UV-Vis) spectrophotometry to develop a comprehensive understanding of coffee-induced tooth discoloration by examining the individual and combined effects of CGA and pigments and determining how their concentrations are affected by coffee roast level.
Identifying and Rectifying the Misuse of Retention Indices in GC
December 10th 2024LCGC International spoke to Phil Marriott and Humberto Bizzo about a recent paper they published identifying the incorrect use of retention indices in gas chromatography and how this problem can be rectified in practice.
