World Mental Health Day originated on 10th October 1992 by Deputy Secretary General Richard Hunter; 32 years later, it remains important to continue raising awareness and acting on reducing mental health stigmas.
VACGEN has chosen to show support for this day by speaking to our HR representative, Kathy, about the steps she is taking to further educate herself on mental health, particularly in the workplace.
Synchrotron light sources are among the most advanced tools for scientific research, producing high-intensity, tunable beams of X-rays, infrared, and ultraviolet light.
Nuclear clean energy needs vacuum for controlled environments, efficiency in reactions and safety in nuclear fusion and fission technologies.
Extreme high vacuum (XHV) environments are becoming a popular option for a range of applications i.e. Molecular Beam Epitaxy (MBE). Given the extreme situations required for XHV, there are a variety of issues that coincide with this. One persistent issue is the removal of hydrogen gas.
Material analysis is a foundation of scientific research and industrial applications, providing critical insights into the composition, structure, and properties of materials. Among the array of techniques available, Secondary Ion Mass Spectrometry (SIMS) stands out for its exceptional sensitivity and depth profiling capabilities.
Synchrotron science shines across disciplines, illuminating a pathway for scientific discoveries. Synchrotrons use synchrotron radiation, which is produced when charged particles, typically electrons, are accelerated to nearly the speed of light in a circular or spiral path by strong magnetic fields. This process generates intense beams of light that cover a broad spectrum, from infrared to X-rays.
Material deposition refers to the process of adding or depositing material onto a substrate or surface. This can be achieved through various techniques and methods, each suited to different applications. For many of these applications, vacuum is an essential requirement to achieve the required quality.
Recently VACGEN’s Sourcing Engineer, Seb, completed his first module as part of his Level 4 Chartered Institute of Procurement and Supply (CIPS) with a Merit. We caught up with Seb to learn more about why he decided to enrol for this qualification.
Today we’re celebrating Women and Girls in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics Day. To mark the occasion we have interviewed our Monument Cell Leader - Carly.
