Customer testimonial XUV Optics: Empyrean - the answer to challenge
VideoThe industrial focus group XUV Optics, part of the MESA+ Institute for nanotechnology, is located in a new high-tech lab at the University of Twente (the Netherlands). XUV Optics performs top research in the field of nanotechnology. They specialize in developing multilayer mirrors (e.g. used in space telescopes) and in advanced forms of lithography to generate new computer chips. In the video, lab manager Prof. Dr. Fred Bijkerk and assistant professor Dr. Ir. Robbert van der Kruis explain how Malvern Panalytical's Empyrean X-ray diffractometer contributes to their research.
Temperature ramping - transformed
VideoTemperature ramping at 0.1 °C/min? That might be okay, if you have time to wait. For those who want their temperature ramping results sooner, the new Agilent Cary 3500 UV-Vis allows accurate and reproducible ramping at up to 30 °C/min without the leaks, noise, and mess of a multicell holder with a water circulator.

Human Nature Documentary Trailer
VideoA breakthrough called CRISPR has given us unprecedented control over the basic building blocks of life. It opens the door to curing diseases, reshaping the biosphere, and designing our own children. Human Nature is a provocative exploration of CRISPR’s far-reaching implications, through the eyes of the scientists who discovered it, the families it’s affecting, and the bioengineers who are testing its limits. How will this new power change our relationship with nature? What will it mean for human evolution? To begin to answer these questions we must look back billions of years and peer into an uncertain future.

Can Human Genome Editing Be Regulated?
VideoOur genetic makeup has fascinated scientists and medical researchers for decades. There have been significant advances in the field of rewriting the blueprint of life or our DNA. It's been used to treat and prevent a number of disorders and diseases. But it could also be used to create what some have called 'designer babies'. The medical world is divided over the approach. Last year, a scientist in China said he created the world's first genetically edited twins -- leading to global condemnation. Scientists have gathered in Geneva this week to try come up with some regulations. But how would officials enforce rules around our DNA? And what are the risks of advanced research into human genetics?
