A novel x-ray source proposal based on radiations channeling in periodical structures
will be presented. The state-of-the-art of polycapillary optics based systems applied
for elemental analysis and x-ray imaging will be given paying main attention to μ-XRF
and TXRF studies as well as to dedicated x-ray microscopy studies for advanced μ-
tomography.
Many important medical imaging...

Microscopy imaging detectors play a crucial role in the field of X-ray technologies. The research and development of new advanced detectors is fundamental in order to overcome some of the limits of the standard ones. Solid-state X-ray imaging detectors based on visible photoluminescence from aggregated electronic defects, known as colour centres (CCs), locally produced in lithium fluoride...

The amyloidogenic islet amyloid polypeptide (IAPP) and the associated pro-peptide ProIAPP1-48 are
involved in cell death in type 2 diabetes mellitus. It has been observed that interactions of this peptide
with metal ions are connected with both the cytotoxicity of the peptides and their deposition as
amyloids fibrils associated. In particular, Cu(II) seems to inhibit amyloid fibril...
