Just putting this out there again - come and do a PhD in UoBChemistry and spend half of it at Diamond Light Source, the UK's national synchrotron! jobs.ac.uk/job/CQG897/phd…

Putting this out there again because we're looking for a PhD student join us in October! 👇 Need to have applications this month (Aug). Pls retweet!🙏 You have to be eligible for the UK home fees or provide your own top up if overseas. #MOFs #Synchrotron #XRay #Crystallisation

The FFSAS paper is now out for people interested in fitting colloidal scattering data, part of our ongoing collaborations with both the SciML group and SANS group here at RAL scripts.iucr.org/cgi-bin/paper?…

Congratulations to Cameron Hill 𓅪 & colleagues Brunello's Lab on their beautiful cover showing one of the X-ray diffraction patterns used in their high resolution exploration myosin filament activation in mammalian fast-twitch muscle. 📃Read the paper: buff.ly/3R6UmtV

Delighted that an X-ray image of skeletal muscle, collected at Diamond I22 Diamond Light Source on a DECTRIS Ltd. detector, has been selected to feature on the front cover of the 600th volume of Journal of Physiology

Stress testing our data acquisition chain after upgrades. 10.02M frames each from 5 detectors being collected at 100Hz should keep the beamline busy this weekend*. *Our storage sys admins should be happy that this junk data is being collected into a non-archived /tmp/ directory

Come join us, and push I22's structural studies out into the micron regime.

Abstract deadline for our user meeting, S4SAS, is approaching fast! Get your abstracts in by the end of play on Friday 14th July. That's the day after tomorrow... diamond.ac.uk/Home/Events/20…

Check out our new PISA paper at  onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/an… The kinetics of dispersion polymerisation is determined by SAXS. The local [monomer] within growing nanoparticles increases up to a maximum value, which correlates with the maximum rate of polymerisation.

New paper on the crystallization of confectionary triacylglycerides is out! It was interesting to look at chocolate ingredients using synchrotron X-ray at Diamond Light Source, European Synchrotron and Elettra Sincrotrone Trieste.European Research Council (ERC) The Royal Society Politecnico di Torino. sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Please share - our team is recruiting for a fully funded PhD position (Oct 2024 start, home fees only) on the use of electron crystallography to examine a range of properties in MOFs, from flexibility to guest binding (including crystal sponge work). Advert to come. Email me!

Great science and excellent complimentary use of Diamond I22, DL-SAXS and @B21_Dls

Congratulations Mostafa! Mostafa is a joint EPSRC CDT Future Fluid Dynamics & Diamond Light Source Nick Terrill student developing microfluidic technologies which we very much hope to democratise the use of! Proud supervisor!

Well done Mostafa! Looking forward to sharing your technology developments with the wider SAXS community via Diamond I22
