A coherent look at crystalline defects

by Owen Harrison | Jun 4, 2015 | News

A ‘lensless’ X-ray microscope has captured, in stunning detail, the first three-dimensional images of crystalline defects during crystal growth of a mineral, calcite. The ‘lensless’ microscope allowing this 3D imaging was pioneered by the group of Ian Robinson at the...

Transient melting of a nanocrystal: seeing is believing

by Owen Harrison | Jun 2, 2015 | News, Research Highight

Jesse Clark, working as a postdoc in the LCN group of Ian Robinson, has discovered a spectacular transient melting phenomenon in nanocrystals. Coherent X-ray diffraction experiments, carried out at the LCLS X-ray free electron laser facility at Stanford, have allowed...

Non-protein nucleating agent specifically designed for automated protein crystallization trials

by Owen Harrison | Mar 10, 2015 | News, Publication, Research Highight

Scientists at Imperial College London are developing new nano-materials and technologies that include high-throughput methods for producing protein crystals that are pivotal to the structural determination of biological molecules at atomic resolution. These underpin...
