Twin boundaries in FCC metals can strongly influence key material properties, including corrosion behavior and fatigue resistance. A better understanding of how and why twins form during abnormal grain growth (AGG), where a small fraction of grains b… Read more

On May 12th we were delighted to welcome our Lab4DMade consortium partners to Xnovo headquarters for a kick-off meeting marking the start of an exciting chapter in 3D crystallographic imaging. Our mission? Develop next generation laboratory-based sca… Read more

The prize for this year’s best Danscatt PhD thesis was awarded to Bjørt Oladottir Joensen, DTU Physics (supervised by Brian Seger).  The committee regarded Bjørt’s thesis, Understanding Interactions Between Carbon Dioxide, Carbonate and Anion Exchang… Read more

Ice cores of Earth’s polar ice sheets provide important records of past climate and large-scale ice flow. Deciphering those records requires an understanding of the ice microstructure over the depth of the ice sheet. Since drilling began in the 1950s… Read more

Dragonfly, the market leader in generic AI-driven image processing, and Xnovo Technology, the market leader in highly customized and fully automated inspection software, announce a strategic partnership to strengthen automated inspection using multi-… Read more

Chondrites are a class of meteorites that represent some of the oldest solid materials in the solar system. Within chondrites, olivine grains exist in both the rock’s matrix and within spherical, silicate-rich particles, called chondrules. These chon… Read more

To which limits can a material be deformed before it fails? Identifying the root cause of void nucleation and growth could allow expansion of those limits. For example, what is the role of the initial material microstructure? And can this be altered… Read more

We are proud to announce the release of GrainMapper3D version 4.1, enhancing reconstruction of complex samples containing more than one crystalline phase. GrainMapper3D version 4.1 gives easier access to crystallographic information for polycrystalli… Read more

At the Danscatt 2025 annual meeting, CEO Erik Lauridsen presented the award for the best Danscatt PhD thesis 2025. The prize was awarded to Jia Guo, who received his PhD from Aalborg University in January 2024 for his PhD thesis entitled “Aging mecha… Read more

Crystallographic orientations are critical in understanding the physical, chemical, and mechanical properties of materials, as well as in building models to predict how these properties evolve under external stimuli like mechanical deformation or the… Read more
