he BP Conversion Technology Centre is continu- ing to work with hte company, Germany, in the
field of Fischer-Tropsch catalysis and process. The Fischer-Tropsch process is used to convert syngas into synthetic fuels and lubricants, and due to the global resources situation is currently gaining im- portance. Syngas itself can be formed from gaseous or solid carbon sources such as natural gas, coal or biomass.
tector, the first CMOS-based detector for chemical crystallography. The PHOTON 100™ represents a paradigm change in area X-ray detector technology with respect to sensitivity, speed, dynamic range, resolution and detector size. The PHOTON 100™ detector is based on a large, research-grade CMOS sensor with an active area of 100 cm2
that is four
times larger than typical CCD chips commonly used for X-ray detection today. This new CMOS detector offers a detection efficiency significantly better than any other available detector. Also, because of the outstanding reliability of low-voltage CMOS detector technology, the PHOTON 100™ is the first detector to carry a full 3-year warranty. http://www.bruker.com

ruker will launch a new series of high-perfor- mance X-ray crystallography systems, including
the D8 QUEST™ and the D8 VENTURE™. Both sy- stems incorporate next-generation X-ray source and novel detector technology.
The D8 QUEST and D8 VENTURE systems both feature the newly-developed PHOTON 100™ de-

abot Corp. (NYSE: CBT) has launched Lumira™ aerogel as the new brand name for its insula-
ted daylighting systems. Previously, Cabot’s aerogel products were called Nanogel®
aerogel, a name used
for all its applications in several different market sec- tors. Lumira aerogel dramatically increases thermal insulation, improves acoustics, and greatly reduces a building’s lifecycle costs. http://www.cabotaerogel.com
