Heterogeneities in the local microstructure and strain distributions in deformed metals are of critical importance for subsequent mechanical processing. It is thus essential to understand the formation of such local heterogeneities and to be able to… Read more

Grain boundaries (GBs) in a polycrystalline material provide faster diffusion paths (by orders of magnitude) compared to the intragranular lattice. This means that damage will accumulate when a connected pathway of failure-susceptible GBs span the ma… Read more

We are happy to welcome Adriaan van Roosmalen to the Xnovo team as our new Scientist. Adriaan has recently completed his MSc in Physics and Nanotechnology from DTU, where he, for his thesis in cooperation with Xnovo, worked with the determination of… Read more

We welcome Hodjat Mariji in the role of Scientist to the Xnovo team. Hodjat holds a PhD in Theoretical Physics and has applied his expertise in a variety of fields ranging from fundamental physics (high energy, condensed matter, astrophysics) to appl… Read more

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
