Let's do some science!

X-rays, materials, biology

[Manuel Guizar-Sicairos @GuizarSicairos]

Cheers with Beerlatus!! 😊🤓

It's often the imperfections that make things interesting! Our new paper: https://t.co/DTr2LbHSJF provides 3D quantification of nano-scale defect structures in materials for fusion power generation. Team: @oxengsci, @advancedphoton, @KumpulaScience. Thanks to @ERC_Research.

[Felix Hofmann @FHofmannOxf]

Just discovered that @DrNick0, Peng Li from @ComixTeam and I are featured on the #TMS2020 poster 😎 Thanks @edtarleton for pointing this out!

[Felix Hofmann @FHofmannOxf]

Cool Hot stuff! 😎 TGS measurements of microscale thermal diffusivity and surface acoustic wave speed at 800C in our setup @oxengsci. Well done Abdallah for getting this to work!!!

[Felix Hofmann @FHofmannOxf]

🤞those strain gauges stay attached!

“Detailed knowledge of the structure of crystal defects is essential for optimising material performance. Normally you think of defects as bad, however there is a fantastic opportunity here to enhance material properties by defect engineering” https://t.co/i8y3NXwMIw @FHofmannOxf

[Felix Hofmann @FHofmannOxf]

Great team effort with @DrNick0 & @DasSuchandrima from @oxengsci; @phanikaramched, @the_FIB_guy & J. Douglas from @OxfordMaterials; W. Cha & W. Liu from @advancedphoton.
Thanks to @ERC_Research for our funding!

[Felix Hofmann @FHofmannOxf]

Fully funded PhD Studentship: Rapid Characterisation of Irradiation-Induced Dimensional Change in Fusion Reactor Materials. Very cool project at @oxengsci with me and Andy London from @UKAEAofficial. Apply now!

[Felix Hofmann @FHofmannOxf]

Hot off the Press: @baevidyang's new paper - Making coordinate transformations in coherent X-ray diffraction easy! https://t.co/YGquTOWxnz

Associated code available here: https://t.co/XwpBS5Q74m.

With @DrNick0 at @oxengsci.

Thanks to @ERC_Research for funding.

[Felix Hofmann @FHofmannOxf]

Showcasing our research at @oxengsci for the Wonderlab at the @WestgateOxford !

[Felix Hofmann @FHofmannOxf]

Very proud of @DasSuchandrima for successfully defending her DPhil thesis today! Congratulations! 🥳

[Felix Hofmann @FHofmannOxf]

Our review of Transient Grating Spectroscopy is out! An ultrarapid, nondestructive materials evaluation technique for probing evolving systems. With @MITMnM, showcasing work from @MIT, @oxengsci and others. https://t.co/4RZaFYE477 and open version https://t.co/10rRrzWD9h

[Nick Phillips @DrNick0]

On holiday and visited the Munich Compact Light Source (MuCLS) - Thanks, amazing work! (Yes, I went on the slide too)
@TU_Muenchen @oxengsci

[Felix Hofmann @FHofmannOxf]

New toy arriving! 😁😁 ⁦@oxengsci⁩

[Felix Hofmann @FHofmannOxf]

Shutters open and beautiful diffraction patterns coming in at Sector 34 😁 @advancedphoton @APS_34ID with folks from @oxengsci @fusionenergy @OxfordMaterials

[Felix Hofmann @FHofmannOxf]

Lovely talk from @DasSuchandrima on the mechanisms controlling irradiation induced changes in the mechanical properties of W!

[Felix Hofmann @FHofmannOxf]

Great talk by ⁦@DrNick0⁩ on his work using Bragg CDI to understand irradiation damage in Tungsten!

[Nick Phillips @DrNick0]

A final paper for the year "Simultaneous nanostructure and chemical imaging of intact whole nematodes". What a great Christmas present!

[Oxford Atom Probe @OxfordAtomProbe]

Merry Christmas from the sharpest Atom Probe Group in the UK!
Santa EPSRC just confirmed funding for a new LEAP 5000 XS atom probe for UK researchers to be installed at Oxford Uni.
If all goes to plan we can pop these pointy specimens into the instrument before the end of 2019.
