Our Senior Scientist Dr. Stephen Price, with Dr. Ashok Menon and Harry Gillions from collaborator institute WMG, University of Warwick completed a beamtime in May at ESRF. They set up an operando XRD mapping experiment on multilayer pouch cells fabricated at the WMG battery scale up pilot line to understand their degradation modes. Stephen […]
We are excited to share our latest work exploring the use of the ProxSkip algorithm as an efficient solution for accelerating iterative methods in imaging inverse problems. This project was led by our Senior Research Scientist Evangelos Papoutsellis, in collaboration with Kostas Papafitsoros (Queen Mary University) and Zeljko Kereta (University College London). By randomly skipping regularisation […]
Our PhD student Antonia Bobitan recently completed her 2nd beamtime of the year for STORMING. This time on beamline P21.2 at DESY, where she performed an in situ XRD-CT experiment on 3D-printed monoliths along with collaborators Dr. Matthew Potter (Bath), Maciej Walerowski (Southampton) and Dr. Lucy Costley-Wood (UCL). The team successfully tested our newly designed […]
Our PhD student Antonia Bobitan took part in a beamtime on beamline BM31 at ESRF in March with Prof. Andrew Beale and Dr. Yaroslav Odarchenko. They joined forces with Maria Asuncion Molina Esquinas from UCL. Antonia performed a combined XAFS/XRD operando experiment on our STORMING catalysts for CH4 conversion to high-purity H2 and CNTs. She […]
Our Senior Scientist Stephen Price has been working with Julia Gasol Cardona, Iain Oswald (University of Strathclyde), Daniel Markl (CMAC), Andy Maloney (CCDC – The Cambridge Crystallographic Data Centre), and teams at DESY, ELDICO Scientific AG and ESRF – The European Synchrotron on a project where X-ray Diffraction Computed Tomography (XRD-CT) has been used to […]
We were proud to host the 4th STORMING Consortium Meeting in London on the 11th & 12th September. It was wonderful to meet up with the consortium members and share new insights on the project. STORMING will develop breakthrough and innovative structured reactors heated using renewable electricity, to convert fossil and renewable CH4 into CO2-free H2 and […]
Finden’s latest work with UCL Chemistry, Deutsches Elektronen-Synchrotron DESY, Dyson School of Design Engineering at Imperial College London and Science and Technology Facilities Council (STFC) has been published in a new paper by Hongyang Dong “Obtaining parallax-free X-ray powder diffraction computed tomography data with a self-supervised neural network” in npj Computational Materials. This study introduces a method designed to […]
The Royal Society of Chemistry made a short film to celebrate our Royal Society of Chemistry Horizon Sir George Stokes Prize with Sciad Communications and Cambridge FilmWorks. The piece was filmed at the Research Complex at Harwell, Rutherford Appleton Laboratory and our joint recipients at the Deutsches Elektronen-Synchrotron DESY in 2023. Here we speak about our […]
Our Chemical Imaging and Tomography training course in collaboration with The University of Manchester is complete and we’ve had a wonderful time with our participants. Over the course of three days, our expert instructors guided learners through a comprehensive overview of this cutting-edge technology. Students learned the fundamental principles, covering current instrumentation, and how these […]
We are so proud of our #WomenInSTEM for their work with us at Finden. We would like to feature Antonia Bobitan our PhD student who has just completed experiments for her Storming EU Project at the DESY synchrotron. “We’ve been doing some pretty cool stuff here at DESY beamlines P21.2 and P07, from magnetic induction heating […]
