IEN Instrumentation Spotlight:
X-Ray Fluorescence Spectroscopy
X-Ray Fluorescence spectroscopy is now available in the SENIC IEN/IMat Materials Characterization Facility at
Georgia Tech. The MCF is pleased to announce the installation of its latest X-Ray tool, the Bruker Tornado X-Ray Fluorescence (XRF) spectrometer. Featuring two sources, two detectors, and an automatic stage with micron-level positioning accuracy; the XRF is capable of measuring elements from C to U with a spot size down to 20um for high resolution elemental mapping of materials and devices. In addition, advanced software packages: XMethod - for layer thickness calculation and AMICS - for automated mineral determination are available to users for sample analysis. More information about the instrument and its capabilities will be posted on the MCF webpage soon, and the tool will be open for use in early September.

JSNN Instrumentation Spotlight:
Chromatography and
Mass Spectrometry
JSNN has added exciting new analytical chemistry instrumentation from Agilent. The 1290 UHPLC, 7900 ICP-MS, and 5977B/8890 GC-MS were added this summer to the core facilities to augment existing capabilities. The ICP-MS is a highly capable single quadrupole system with high matrix tolerance, extremely low detection limits, but the widest dynamic range available for elemental analysis in a variety of sample types including single nanoparticle studies (spICP-MS). Chromatography with the new UHPLC and GC-MS allows for incredibly fast and repeatable separation with a simple user interface. All three systems offer the best performance available today for high performance analysis of atomic and molecular compositions. Contact JSNN for more information about what these instruments can do for your research.

| SENIC's Education and Outreach
Among other events, IEN hosted the Nanoscience Summer Institute for Middle School Teachers in June, and JSNN hosted the ExPlorers Program for underrepresented high school students in July.
IEN continues to provide a free “Intro to Nanotechnology” virtual workshop to students in Georgia, and JSNN continues to provide free "Rise to Nano" experiences to schools and community organizations in North Carolina. Students and community members can learn about the exciting world of nanotechnology, the science of the super small, with hands-on activities. Contact Education and Outreach Teams at IEN and JSNN for additional information.
