[update 7th of September: intensity units on the graph have been corrected] Synchrotron staff have known for years, but collaborations really drive progress. Since first […]

We got some initial results of the sequential SAXS/USAXS experiments we did at Diamond*I22 earlier this year, measuring one of Zoë Schnepp‘s carbon catalysts. Unique […]

With our new machine, we now have overlapping datasets recorded over several Q-ranges. Ideally, we’d be merging or “binning” these datasets into a beautiful long […]

When researchers ask if we can measure their samples, the usual, unsatisfying answer is: “It depends…”. That’s because the detectablity of their dispersed scatterers depends […]

A few questions have come up via the blog asking what kind of detector would be helpful for getting good SAXS measurements. Having worked with […]
