Gordon F. Kirkbright Bursary Award 2015
Applications are invited for the 2015 Gordon F. Kirkbright Bursary Award, which enables a promising student or non-tenured young scientist of any nation to attend a recognized scientific meeting or visit a place of learning.
The fund for this bursary was established in 1985 as a memorial to Gordon Kirkbright in recognition of his contributions to analytical spectroscopy and to science in general. Although the Association of British Spectroscopists Trust administers the fund, the award is not restricted to spectroscopists.
The closing date for entries is December 31, 2014.

Real-Time Battery Health Tracking Using Fiber-Optic Sensors
April 9th 2025A new study by researchers from Palo Alto Research Center (PARC, a Xerox Company) and LG Chem Power presents a novel method for real-time battery monitoring using embedded fiber-optic sensors. This approach enhances state-of-charge (SOC) and state-of-health (SOH) estimations, potentially improving the efficiency and lifespan of lithium-ion batteries in electric vehicles (xEVs).
