From 18 to 23 December 2024, six researchers from UiTM Cawangan Pulau Pinang, including
undergraduate and PhD students, took part in a research program at the Synchrotron
Light Research Institute (SLRI), Thailand. The research focused on micro-swimmer
materials for treating water pollution, using high-intensity X-ray technology, specifically
XAS (X-ray absorption spectrometer) instruments.

The program aimed to build the researchers' understanding of the microscopic properties
of materials for developing green and sustainable technologies. Activities included
experiments, technical briefings and collaborative discussions with SLRI experts.
The involvement opens opportunities for high-impact journal publications and strategic
regional collaboration, strengthening UiTM's reputation as a center of research 
excellence.
