Welcome to Elettra Crowd!

The last quarter of 2019 has been a very productive period at Elettra in terms of both scientific achievements and their dissemination. Here we bring to your attention only a tiny selection of our numerous highlights and activities in the last months of 2019. We also encourage you to visit our homepage in order to have a glance at all the rest. We are stepping in 2020 with a lot of significant already published results, which will be screened in the upcoming newsletter ! 

As always, we look forward to seeing you with us here at Elettra!

Research Highlights

	Competitive advantage of modern humans over Neanderthals Thanks to the use of FTIR microscopy it was possible to reveal that the bow-and-arrow technology allowed modern humans to hunt more successfully than Neanderthals. Nature Ecology & Evolution 3, 1409 (2019) Read more...
	Phase and amplitude of bichromatic XUV light It was measured with very high accuracy the amplitude and the phase relationship of a wavelength and its second harmonic imprinted onto the outgoing electron wave from a sample of He atoms. Physical Review Letters 123, 213904 (2019) Read more...
	Hydrogenation of graphene Thanks to the use of high-resolution core level photoelectron spectroscopy it has been proven that a dual-route for the hydrogenation of graphene epitaxially grown on Ni(111) also involves a process of atomic intercalation. ACS Nano 13, 1828 (2019) Read more...
	Graphene layer as protection toward oxidation It was demonstrated that  the oxidation of copper in an aggressive environment and at high temperature can be hindered by a graphene layer. ACS Appl. Mater. Interfaces  11, 29448 (2019) Read more...
