Date: 2023.3.27 ~ 2023.3.30 Location: Leeds, England Website: http://www.esr-group.org/conferences/2023-conference-leeds/     The 56th Annual International Meeting of the Electron Spin Resonance Spectroscopy Group of the Royal Society of Chemistry (RSC ESR Group) will be held 27th to 30th March 2023 in Leeds, England.      RSC ESR Group   The ESR Group was founded in 1968 as a forum within the Chemical Society for scientists to share, disseminate and promote knowledge about electron spin resonance. In 1980 the Chemical Society and the Royal Institute of Chemistry, together with the Faraday Society and the Society for Analytical Chemistry were amalgamated to become the Royal Society of Chemistry, so that it became a special interest group of the RSC. They are also affiliated to the European Federation of EPR Groups.   The main aim of the RSC ESR Group is to promote innovation, share and advance knowledge, and to encourage applications of electron spin resonance in chemistry, as well as in physical and biological sciences and their applications. These aims are achieved with the aid of an annual international meeting, often followed by publication of proceedings in peer-reviewed international journals.     CIQTEK Booth at RSC ESR Leeds Meeting 2023   CIQTEK will be hosted by our UK distributor SciMed. SciMed will offer UK based sales and service support for the range of EPR spectroscopy and work closely with the CIQTEK team to offer outstanding support to UK users.

Images are ubiquitous in our lives and are a fundamental and indispensable medium for the dissemination of information. Imaging is a direct means of acquiring images and can be classified according to the different imaging wavelengths as visible, radar, infrared, and terahertz imaging. With the further development of information technology, new demands are being placed on spatial resolution, signal-to-noise ratio, multispectral imaging performance, and the imaging environment.  Single-pixel Imaging Technology   With the increase in computer arithmetic power and the development of compressed perception theory, scientists have proposed a single-pixel imaging technique based on a computational imaging approach. This is a new imaging method that uses a single-pixel detector without spatial resolution and a spatial light modulator to obtain images by reconstruction. Compared with the traditional array detector imaging method, single-pixel imaging has the advantages of high sensitivity and interference resistance and has obvious advantages in the fields of very weak light imaging, non-local imaging, special band detection without large surface array detectors, etc. It has very broad application prospects in many fields such as nuclear magnetic resonance, aerospace remote sensing, and terahertz imaging.   Advantages of Single-pixel Imaging  Image Credits: High throughput dual-wavelength temperature distribution imaging via compressive imaging.Opt. Comm. 410, 287-291 (2018)   Single Pixel Photon Imaging Teaching Instrument   Although computational imaging, represented by single-pixel photon imaging, is promising, there is still a lack of experimental teaching content at the undergraduate level. In order to improve the relevant curriculum and help students develop their scientific research skills, CIQTEK, in collaboration with Professor Qing Zhao's team from the Technology Research Centre of Beijing University of Technology, has created a single-pixel photon imaging teaching instrument.   The product is a teaching instrument based on the theory of compressed perception and photon counting imaging technology, using digital micromirror devices to accomplish rapid imaging of random spatial light-modulated target objects. The product takes advantage of the sparse signal characteristics of the compressed sensing technique to go beyond the traditional Shannon sampling theorem and can restore images with high spatial resolution and high signal-to-noise ratio in very low light conditions with fewer measurements.   CIQTEK Launched Single Pixel Photon Imaging Teaching Instrument   The single-pixel photon imaging teaching instrument has a wealth of hardware modules to support students' hands-on adjustment and construction, facilitating students' understanding of spatial light modulation techniques and equipment usage, understanding the principle of compressed perception and imaging methods, and knowing the characteri...

CIQTEK is happy to sponsor the 12th Asia-Pacific EPR/ESR Symposium (APES 2022) in Hangzhou, China during November 4-7, 2022. The symposium this year is an online event for international speakers and participants, a new start for Asia-Pacific EPR/ESR Society in the post-epidemic era.The main aims of APES 2022 are to bring together EPR/ESR spectroscopists and to promote and facilitate collaboration among the EPR/ESR community. APES 2022 is intended to stimulate discussions on the forefront of research in all aspects of EPR/ESR ranging from theoretical and experimental advances in CW/Pulsed EPR, high frequency, and high field EPR, ENDOR, PEDLOR/DEER, time-resolved EPR, FMR, MRI, ODMR to applications in medicine, biology, chemistry, materials science and nanotechnology. CIQTEK Moments at APES 2022Moment 1: On November 4th, CIQTEK had a presentation entitled "Introduction to EPR spectrometers of CIQTEK" by Dr. Zhifu Shi, Technical Director of EPR, CIQTEK.Moment 2: On November 6th, Dr. Haijun Yang, Tsinghua University, Beijing, China, made a speech entitled "Construction and Applications of EPR at 6 K Ultra-low Temperature". In his speech, Dr. Yang mentioned that his team made research progress based on the CIQTEK X-band EPR spectrometer EPR100.Abstract of the Presentation:There were four main advantages of cryogenic technology in EPR research: (1) Improve the sensitivity of the spectrometer; (2) Increase the sample stability; (3) Weaken the effect of polar solvents on solution samples, and (4) Extend T1 and T2 relaxation for the better detection of spin echoes. Currently, the ultra-low temperature EPR is commonly performed by a liquid helium cooling system. Due to issues such as rising gas prices, cryogenic systems were expensive and difficult to run continuously for a long time. In collaboration with CIQTEK, a dry temperature-variable unit was constructed successfully with helium as the circulating gas. On the CIQTEK X-band EPR spectrometer (EPR100), this temperature-variable unit achieved a wide temperature range of 6 K to 300 K and afforded a long continuous operation time of more than 200 hours. The cost is less than five percent of the liquid helium cooling system. For the coal sample tested by the CW EPR, the double integration area of the EPR signal acquired at 6 K was nearly 42 times larger than that at 293 K. In addition, the following two applications have been proposed for the dry 6 K ultra-low temperature EPR technology. (1) For the diradicals, how to test the spin state from singlet and triplet? And how to calculate the energy gap of singlet−triplet (ΔEST)? (2) How to study the structure of Cu2+ complexes in solution using electron spin echo envelope modulation (ESEEM) pulse experiments? This novel dry temperature-variable unit prevents the consumption of helium due to closed circulation, saving the noble helium and reducing the cost of the EPR spectrometer’s operation, which propels researc...
