Recently, we’ve had to tighten up safety on the MOUSE, in particular for connecting high-power 230V electrically heated stages inside the sample chamber. Since radiation […]

My colleague and scientist extraordinaire, Dr. Glen Smales, has been key to the successful operation of the MOUSE lab for the last five years. During […]

While we wait for the referee reports to come in on the Data Analysis Round Robin paper submitted in January, I’ve put the preprint manuscript […]

Hey all, I’ve a three year post-doc position for grazing incidence X-ray scattering now open for applications! It’s for a H2020 project on developing antimicrobial […]

By now, we have developed a quite extensive data processing pipeline whilst maintaining a high rate of samples on the MOUSE instrument. To stave off […]

How much does the researcher affect the analysis of small-angle scattering data? To find out, we sent four corrected, ready-for-analysis datasets to participants, and investigated […]

It’s been almost five full years since we started keeping detailed operational statistics on our X-ray scattering machine. It’s also been a little more than […]

So with our MOUSE instrument churning through an unprecedented number of samples, we’ve got to keep it well fed, preferably with consistent sample series. That’s […]

Over the last half year (damn 2022 goes fast!) I haven’t spent so much time on the USAXS project (see our last publication from 2021 […]
