Well done Mostafa! Looking forward to sharing your technology developments with the wider SAXS community via @I22_DLS
Congratulations Mostafa! Mostafa is a joint @CDTFluidsLeeds & @DiamondLightSou @njt3303 student developing microfluidic technologies which we very much hope to democratise the use of! Proud supervisor!

Congratulations to our CDT student Mostafa Soroor on winning first prize in today's CDT fluids symposium poster competition! Sponsored by @NAGTalk
Great science and excellent complimentary use of @I22_DLS, DL-SAXS and @B21_Dls
💡🔍 In our most recent science highlight see how multiple beamlines at Diamond reveal different insights into the pioneering research area of nanomedicine. ⬇

ALT SAXS and mechanical properties of CO2-derived triblock copolymer elastomers. A) Room-temperature small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) profiles showing principle scattering peaks (q*) and higher-order peaks (q/q*). B) Representative stress–strain curves (10 mm min−1 extension rate). C) Improvement in tensile strength and Young's modulus relative to unfunctionalized 1-vinyl. D) Creep-recovery experiments at 30 °C, 5 kPa.

Please share - our team is recruiting for a fully funded PhD position (Oct 2024 start, home fees only) on the use of electron crystallography to examine a range of properties in MOFs, from flexibility to guest binding (including crystal sponge work). Advert to come. Email me!

New paper on the crystallization of confectionary triacylglycerides is out! It was interesting to look at chocolate ingredients using synchrotron X-ray at @DiamondLightSou, @esrfsynchrotron and @elettrasincro.@ERC_Research @royalsociety @PoliTOnews.

Check out our new PISA paper at onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/…
The kinetics of dispersion polymerisation is determined by SAXS. The local [monomer] within growing nanoparticles increases up to a maximum value, which correlates with the maximum rate of polymerisation.

Come join us, and push I22's structural studies out into the micron regime.
We're looking for a scientist, to work on an instrumentation project, to enhance the capabilities of my already awesome beamline. Retweets appreciated.
DMs open for informal enquiries.

Stress testing our data acquisition chain after upgrades.
10.02M frames each from 5 detectors being collected at 100Hz should keep the beamline busy this weekend*.
*Our storage sys admins should be happy that this junk data is being collected into a non-archived /tmp/ directory
