Check out our new low-cost 3D-printed flow cell now available for imaging and diffraction of solid-liquid reactions on DIAD. πŸ§ͺ

Developed in collaboration with colleagues at @edinburghchem.bsky.social

The design of a low-cost 3D printed flow cell for synchrotron computed microtomography We present and demonstrate the use of a low-cost 3D printed flow cell for the study of liquid–solid systems using synchrotron computed microtomography. The designs are freely available with this publication.

EIS ice baby

New ideas can be found in the intersection between battery science and planetary science.

Myself and @thebeamline.bsky.social are exploring how ice microstructure will impact radar measurements on Europa using tomography and EIS.

Coupled X-ray imaging/diffraction reveals soil mechanics during analogous root growth - npj Biological Physics and Mechanics npj Biological Physics and Mechanics - Coupled X-ray imaging/diffraction reveals soil mechanics during analogous root growth

How do plant roots push through hard soil? Our new paper in npj Biological Physics and Mechanics uses X-rays to watch it happen. This new view can help us breed more resilient crops for a changing climate.🌾 #SoilScience #Agriculture

NEW PAPER ALERT! Ahem sorry for shouting.

5 XCT, 2 XRD-CT datasets, all from the same 13X Zeolite pellet.

Designed to train: super resolution models (SR-GANs), DNNs for reconstruction, CNNs for image segmentation and data fusion of heterogeneous datasets.

A change of scenery last week running neutron total scattering experiments on NIMROD at ISIS ! Some exciting icy moon data coming through (you can see how excited I am). Thanks to @pereralj.bsky.social and @annaamonicaa for helping and especially Tris and Zac for their great LCing

On the first day of Christmas NIMROD gave to me - insights into icy moon geochemis-tree.
