Opening of X-ray Absorption Facility for CAtalysis Research (XAFCA) and Application of Synchrotron based Techniques for Catalysis and Materials Workshop
Along with the NUS Singapore Synchrotron Light Source (SSLS), ICES is setting up a dedicated X-ray Absorption Facility for CAtalysis Research (XAFCA) to perform advanced research on catalysis, materials science, and related disciplines. XAFCA is expected to become a new hub for synchrotron-based research on catalysis and materials in Singapore. Synchrotron-based techniques have an impressive record of applications in chemistry, chemical engineering, environmental science, materials science, and particularly in catalysis.
If you have an enquiry, you may contact us at RSVP-Beamline@ices.a-star.edu.sg or 6796 3884 for more information.
Please RSVP by 9 December 2011.
