In this celebration of graphene, our eBook delves into more than just graphene as it explores forms of carbon and 2D materials. Download the eBook and find out more about these cutting edge materials.

Chicago's iconic green river for St. Patrick's Day hides a surprising environmental twist! Originally, a harmful dye impacted aquatic life. Discover the switch to a safer alternative and delve into the fascinating science behind the vibrant green spectacle.

DNA is so small, that even with powerful microscopes it is difficult for us to see, so scientists use special fluorescent labels to make it easier to investigate. Discover the incredibly creative way one of our scientists, Alix, explains why scientists use fluorescent labels and how they work!

Graphene 20: We continue our celebration of Graphene by taking a closer look at the structure of the material. Using Raman spectroscopy, discover how you can investigate the quality of graphene, defects and even its local environment.

We spoke to CJ, Head of Marketing here at Edinburgh Instruments to find out more about her and her job role here. At Edinburgh Instruments, we are proud of all our employees for all they do behind the scenes, so we thought it was time to put them in the spotlight. This series does exactly that!

In this Map of the Month, we show how the RMS1000 can be used to test OLED devices for EL luminosity and colour distribution.

Allotropes of carbon exist with vastly different properties - this quick blog outlines how the structural arrangement of carbon atoms impacts a material's properties.

In the 20 years since its discovery, graphene has made several advances possible in industries such as energy, electronics and pharmaceuticals. Join us as we celebrate this remarkable material throughout 2024.

In January’s Map of the Month, we look forward to the longer days by analysing strain in a standard solar cell semiconductor material: silicon.

Edi’s been making a mess in the kitchen! Baking up some Christmas goodies we’ve had a few spills along the way. But what did they spill? Let’s find out with the RM5!
