PicaMS is a
Brisbane-based company which provides
a range of scientific problem solving services based on techniques
derived from physical sciences and materials nano-characterisation.
Our Mission: To enable development of better
materials and better products for the manufacturing, engineering and
resource
industries through nanocharacterisation and physical modelling
Examples of major recent projects are:
- Analysis of
spontaneous fracture of flat glass and remediation of glass facades
with nickel sulphide contaminants
- Applications
of superconductivity
- Micro and nano
characterisation of materials using scanning and transmission electron
microscopy
PicaMS
is a scientific consultant company which provides a service for
characterisation of physical materials using electron beam techniques
and provides a service in physics-based problem solving.
- Electron beam techniques, such as scanning and
transmission electron microscopy, provide a highly versatile toolset
for characterisation of materials structure in a sizes ranging from 0.1
nanometres (0.1 billionth of a metre = atomic resolution) up to 1
millimetre.
- For diagnosis of causes of product failure and for quality assurance electron-beam
characterisation methods often prove to be most effective.
- For process and
product development a combination of electron beam
characterisation, theoretical workup and physics-based problem solving
is used.
About the logo:
The logo is based on the c80 carbon molecule, which is the big
sister of the better known c60 molecule. C80 has the same
icosahedral molecular symmetry as c60, but has low bonding symmetry and
therefore is much less abundant than its little sister.
