Researchers from the Paul Scherrer Institute (PSI) and Xnovo Technology ApS have developed a novel x-ray imaging technology for the efficient characterization of fiber orientations within fiber-reinforced plastic (FRP) components. First results of ap… Read more

Olivine is the dominating mineral in the earth’s upper mantle – the first layer beneath the surface crust. It is also common in some extraterrestrial meteorites and holds promise for carbon dioxide sequestration through mineral reaction. Overall an i… Read more

We are proud to announce the release of GrainMapper3D version 2.1, which is even faster and more intuitive than it’s predecessor. Through the LabDCT™ module for the ZEISS Xradia 520/620 Versa X-ray Microscopes, GrainMapper3D version 2.1 gives access… Read more

In collaboration with the Xnovo team, a group of researchers headed by professor Nik Chawla from Arizona State University have put the – soon to be released – forward modeling feature of the new GrainMapper3D 2.1 to the test and reported the results… Read more

Have you ever wondered what actually goes on behind the scenes of GrainMapper3D? What kind of magic is used to turn spotty diffraction patterns into colourful grain maps? In a new Journal of Applied Crystallography publication we have detailed the fa… Read more

The prize for this year’s best Danscatt PhD thesis was awarded to Henrik Lyder Andersen at the Danscatt Annual meeting 2019 hosted by Aarhus University. The committee regarded his science on advanced functional materials, including magnetic nanoparti… Read more

Grain boundary wetting refers to the phenomenon that a liquid metal penetrates along the grain boundaries within polycrystalline solid metals. Replacement of the original grain boundary with the liquid layer generally causes intergranular brittle fra… Read more

We are happy to announce that Anders Filsøe Pedersen has joined the Xnovo team as our new Scientist. Anders comes from a position as Post Doc in the NEXMAP (Neutrons and X-rays for Materials Physics) section at DTU Physics. He brings along a broad kn… Read more

The prize for this year’s best Danscatt PhD thesis was awarded to Pablo Alcón Hernández at the Danscatt Annual meeting 2018 hosted by RUC. The committee regarded his science on new protein from the CRISPR-Cas family to be at a high international leve… Read more

By using a combination of LabDCT, attenuation-based tomography and electron microscopy, a group of researchers headed by assistant professor Ashwin Shahani from University of Michigan have investigated the correlation between grain boundaries and imp… Read more
