Guinier in polydisperse systems revisited
Last week, I was contacted by Christian Gollwitzer (author of this excellent paper) about something posted here (and in particular detailed in this document) a […]
Looking into something
Comparisons of Doom: line vs. pinhole.
[ed: My current project is running at an end, so if you happen to have a job offer I cannot refuse, I will seriously weigh […]
Intensity in density
A few weeks ago, a dataset landed on my desk from a very dense system: scattering from dry, packed SiO2 nanoparticle powder. Dense systems add […]
Guest post by Dr. Jan Ilavsky: Meet an Ultra-scatterer!
[ED: I’ve started asking around for guest contributions for the LookingAtNothing site, in order to provide a broader view of the SAS-related activities than I […]

12 corrections in a row
Just a couple of housekeeping notes: I’m giving talks in Europe in a month at the following locations: Unité Matériaux et Transformations (UMET), Lille on […]
How to fit a scattering pattern part 1: the initial look.
By the way, my topical review paper on SAXS data collection and correction has been published and is available open access here! Recently, some […]
Comment on the current state of internet surveillance
Unfortunately, not everything can be solved with small-angle scattering. Current affairs have led me to write this post, in which I try to highlight the […]
NIM-duino as ersatz counter-ratemeter (counts up to ~50000 counts per second)
The Bonse Hart USAXS instrument is coming along nicely, and the expectation is that we can start using X-rays pretty soon. One missing element in […]
Does it matter? part 3: Natural background radiation
[With thanks to dr. Masato Ohnuma for bringing this to my attention] It is all around us, and occasionally all through us, and every now […]
