Fine-tuning chemistry by doping with transition metals produced stability in bismuth oxide
ANSTO has contributed to research led by the University of Sydney, involving doping transition metals in a polymorph of bismuth oxide in a search for more structural stability.
Cubic high-temperature polymorph of bismuth oxide, δ-Bi2O3, is the best known oxide ionic conductor but its narrow stability range (729—817 °C), which is close to its melting temperature of 817 °C precludes its practical use.
A large collaboration, led by Professor Chris Ling and Dr. Julia Wind (as part of her Ph.D.) from the University of Sydney involving researchers from ANSTO and two other universities, has achieved the design and understanding of the complex crystal structure and chemistry behind a commensurate structure within the fast-ion conducting stabilised bismuth oxide, co-doped with chromium and niobium, Bi23CrNb3O45.
The study was published in the Chemistry of Materials.

First integrated laser on lithium niobate chip
For all the recent advances in integrated lithium niobate photonic circuits—from frequency combs to frequency converters and modulators—one big component has remained frustratingly difficult to integrate: lasers.
Long haul telecommunication networks, data center optical interconnects, and microwave photonic systems all rely on lasers to generate an optical carrier used in data transmission. In most cases, lasers are stand-alone devices, external to the modulators, making the whole system more expensive and less stable and scalable.
Now, researchers from the Harvard John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences (SEAS) in collaboration with industry partners at Freedom Photonics and HyperLight Corporation, have developed the first fully integrated high-power laser on a lithium niobate chip, paving the way for high-powered telecommunication systems, fully integrated spectrometers, optical remote sensing, and efficient frequency conversion for quantum networks, among other applications.

Throwback Thursday to this septum piercing I did. Seems like a very looong time ago. Really not that long ago. Niobium and titanium high polish captive bead ring from Sm316. Still missing you fine folks. How are your piercings doing?

What!? I did an orbital piercing! This client has had and healed a standard industrial piercing so I felt more comfortable performing this for them. Niobium and hematite from SM316.
