It’s a pleasure to welcome our new Scientist Gorm Gruner Jensen to the Xnovo team. Gorm obtained his PhD in physics from the University of Bremen in 2020. He has specialized in mathematics and simulation based analysis of complex systems and he has a… Read more

6061 Al alloy (Al-Si-Mg-Cu) is widely used for structural components in aerospace, transportation, and marine engineering because of its ease of fabrication and relatively high strength. Copper is added to improve the strength, however, this simultan… Read more

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

The prize for this year’s best Danscatt PhD thesis was awarded to Jette Katja Mathiesen for her thesis, When One Is Not Enough: From Mono– to Bimetallic Nanocrystals with a Look towards High–Entropy Alloys, conducted at the Department of Chemistry, U… Read more
