The science of spaghetti: Neutron scattering explains why gluten-free pasta falls apart

Using small angle neutron and X-ray scattering, researchers from the European Spallation Source and RWTH Aachen University have compared the nanostructure of gluten-free and normal spaghetti, finding that the kind with gluten is much more forgiving to varied cooking conditions.

Prathamesh Deshmukh Jan 28

Hey there, I am Prathamesh Deshmukh, a PhD scholar at UGC-DAE CSR, Mumbai, working in condensed matter physics. My research focuses on magnetoelectric coupling in multiferroic composites and their dielectric, magnetic, and neutron diffraction studies.

Beyond synthesis, I specialise in scientific instrumentation. I designed the Advanced Transport Measurement System (ATMS), a low-cost cryogenic setup for precision transport measurements, and developed PICA, an open-source Python suite for lab automation.

I will be completing my PhD this year and am seeking postdoctoral research opportunities that would leverage my expertise in experimental physics, scientific instrumentation, and software development.

VIPR – Ein Framework für Inverse Probleme 🧩

Die Analyse von Streudaten ist anspruchsvoll, da direkte Inversion oft unmöglich ist. VIPR soll helfen, diese Hürde zu überwinden & die Potenziale großskaliger Experimente voll auszuschöpfen. Ziel ist eine breitere Nutzung dieser Methoden durch effizientere & präzisere Datenanalyse.

Versatile Inverse Problem Software Framework

Forschungszentrum Jülich Sep 19, 2024

Around 200 researchers attended the German Conference on #NeutronScattering 2024 in Aachen this week. Organized by KFN, FZJ, and RWTH Aachen University, the event focused on #NeutronResearch in areas like energy materials and medicine. KFN awarded Dr. Leonardo Chiappisi for his work on polymer-based soft matter, and Dr. Paul Zakalek, Dr. Bruno Baumeister, and Dr. Christian Reiter for advancing neutron sources. Congratulation! 🥳 https://www.fz-juelich.de/en/jcns/news/announcements/2024/kfn-prizes-24
