We have the pleasure of welcoming Henning Osholm Sørensen to the Xnovo team as new Product Manager.  Henning comes from a position as Senior Scientist in the Neutrons and X-rays for Material Physics section at DTU Physics, where he used in situ X-ray… Read more

It’s a pleasure to welcome Morten Gjerding to the Xnovo team as our new Scientist. Morten obtained his PhD from DTU Physics in 2017 on computer simulations of optical properties of low-dimensional materials and has since then worked as a postdoc in r… Read more

We are proud to announce the release of GrainMapper3D version 3.1, boosted to be more than three times faster than its predecessor. GrainMapper3D version 3.1 gives faster access to larger and more representative 3D maps of grain orientations and morp… Read more

The introduction of three new advanced acquisition strategies for lab-based diffraction contrast tomography (LabDCT) – named Helical Phyllotaxis, Helical Phyllotaxis Raster, and Helical Phyllotaxis HART  – enables grain mapping of longer, larger, as… Read more

An efficient and industry-friendly solution for non-destructive 3D fiber mapping is now realizable thanks to a novel robot-assisted X-ray imaging technology. First results of applying this solution to an injection-molded fiber-reinforced plastic (FRP… Read more

It’s a pleasure to welcome Mario Heinig to the Xnovo team as our new Applications Specialist. Mario holds a PhD from DTU Nanolab, where he studied the interplay between fabrication, characterization and performance of metal thin films for nano applic… Read more

Electrical steels with high Si contents are widely used in electrical power transformers, motors and generators. Texture is the most important property for electrical steel as the grain orientations strongly influence the magnetisation and electrical… Read more

We are happy to announce that Mette Fischer has joined the Xnovo team as our new Office Manager and Executive administrator. From working in both corporate, public and private sector companies, Mette brings expertise within the administrative field a… Read more

The prize for this year’s best Danscatt PhD thesis was awarded to Nikolaj Roth for his thesis, Direct-Space Analysis of Correlated Disorder in Crystals, conducted at the Center for Materials Crystallography, Department of Chemistry, Aarhus University… Read more

When a liquid metal like gallium penetrates along the grain boundaries within a polycrystalline solid metal like aluminum, replacement of the original grain boundaries with the liquid layer generally causes intergranular brittle fracture in otherwise… Read more
