Spherical nanometer-sized diamond obtained from detonation
No full textUltrafine diamond (UFD) was synthesized under high pressure and high temperatures generated by explosive detonation. The structure, composition, surface and thermal stability of UFD were studied by use of XRD, TEM, Raman Spectroscopy, FTIR, etc. The influences of the synthesis conditions and purification conditions on the properties of UFD were analyzed. The UFD had an average size of 4-6 nm, commonly exhibiting a spherical shape. The highest yield was of up to 10 mass% of the explosive. Attempts were made to use UFD as an additive to metal-diamond sintering and as crystallite seeds of CVD diamond films. The results show that UFD can decrease the coefficient of friction of the composite by 30%, and raise the nucleation density in CVD diamond films by 2-3 times
The Story of the Fallen Cone
No full textThe output is a collection of eight prints (each 20 x 30cm), which is the outcome of practice-based research into printmaking processes – particularly etching – and expanding the potential of children’s book illustration by combining etching with colour. The output expands traditional printmaking methods and materials, in particular dry point etching. Everitt was keen to retain drawing through etching as the primary mode for children’s book illustration. The research was conducted over a period of nine months between January and September 2017. The prints combine multiple techniques, including drypoint etching, monoprint, watercolour and drawing. They were made to accompany a short story for children that was written by the New Zealand author Vibhusha Delamore. Titled The Story of the Fallen Cone, this story is aimed at young children (ages 3 to 7) and tells of a pinecone who encounters various animals within a forest, including a crow, a small bug and a hedgehog, and reflects on the meaning of its life through these interactions. The story explores aspects of ecology, origin, growth, nature and life cycles, identity, belonging and interpersonal relations
We Have Great Women in STEM: Colouring Book Volume 3
No full textWelcome to the third edition of the “We Have Great Stuff” colouring book series!
In this edition, we have set out to celebrate and showcase the inspiring women in STEM at the University of Edinburgh. You might recognize their names from University buildings, rooms, and plaques, but now it’s time to put faces to these names. Their lives, work, and legacies are a testament to the remarkable achievements taking place at our University, past and present.
The illustrations in this edition were brought to life through a series of collaborative workshops, where members of the Edinburgh community came together to learn new skills and indulge in creative pursuits. Students, interns, staff members, and professors all joined forces to highlight the extraordinary accomplishments of these women and create these wonderful drawings.
I hope this colouring book will provide you with a mindful and enjoyable break from your busy day and give you a chance to appreciate the brilliant women in STEM here at the University of Edinburgh.
Happy colouring!
