Visualization of four-dimensional X-ray absorption fine structure data using a virtual reality system by Haruo Igarashi, Daiki Kido, Yutaka Ishii, Yasuhiro Niwa, Atsushi Okamoto, Masao Kimura

“…Our 4D-XASView facilitates the visualization and analysis of the geometric and topological aspects of the data using VR goggles, enabling detailed exploration of microstructures via rotation and zooming functionalities. This capability allows us to extract XAFS spectral data by selecting specific positions and regions, thereby aiding in the identification of `trigger sites' (magnetite in serpentine), which are characteristic locations within materials that substantially influence the macroscopic propagation of reactions. …”

Molecular organization of the nanoscale surface structures of the dragonfly Hemianax papuensis wing epicuticle. by Elena P Ivanova, Song Ha Nguyen, Hayden K Webb, Jafar Hasan, Vi Khanh Truong, Robert N Lamb, Xiaofei Duan, Mark J Tobin, Peter J Mahon, Russell J Crawford

“…The molecular organization of the epicuticle (the outermost layer) of insect wings is vital in the formation of the nanoscale surface patterns that are responsible for bestowing remarkable functional properties. Using a combination of spectroscopic and chromatographic techniques, including Synchrotron-sourced Fourier-transform infrared microspectroscopy (FTIR), x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) depth profiling and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GCMS), we have identified the chemical components that constitute the nanoscale structures on the surface of the wings of the dragonfly, Hemianax papuensis. …”
