A micromagnetic framework of magnetic small-angle neutron scattering (SANS) is developed, which incorporates weak symmetric anisotropic exchange and predicts new angular harmonics in magnetic SANS cross sections of polycrystalline ferromagnets.

An inexpensive device based on a Raspberry Pi can give neutron scattering instruments the ability to carry out stroboscopic measurements in a relatively simple and flexible fashion. Stroboscopic measurements can be used to study fast kinetic processes in condensed matter systems.

An automated workflow, PolymCrystRefine, has been developed for polymer crystal structure refinement from fiber diffraction data, combining joint force-field and intensity-gradient optimization, a region-of-interest-based data exploitation scheme, and a genetic algorithm guided by fiber-specific constraints.

QuickProcess2 (QP2) unifies real-time image visualization, automated multi-pipeline data processing and experiment management into a single open-source platform for synchrotron macromolecular crystallography beamlines, enabling live quality assessment and concurrent data reduction for both standard rotation and serial crystallography experiments.

Incorporating molecular intensity gradients into an iterative projection algorithm enables model-free electron-density reconstruction even for low-solvent macromolecular crystals.

Sodium-free borosilicate glass thin films synthesized from di­phenyl­borosiloxane exhibit enhanced hydro­phobicity, offering a promising solution for durable surface modification of neutron experimental tools.

A grazing-incidence platform has been commissioned at the very small angle neutron scattering instrument of the China Spallation Neutron Source, with accessible length scales covering three orders of magnitude. The functions of this platform are validated by its ability to distinguish the in-plane assembly patterns of colloidal thin films fabricated by different coating techniques and composed of structures with sizes ranging from 100 nm to several micrometres.

Experimental measurement of partial atomic charge using standard crystallographic data is accessible to a wide range of experimental practitioners of single-crystal X-ray diffraction without the need for high-angle data or specialized software.

Jungfraujoch is a single-node FPGA–GPU server that enables 38 GB s⁻¹ real-time crystallography data acquisition using the PSI JUNGFRAU 9M detector at 2 kHz, with simultaneous on-the-fly processing, spot finding and indexing, and optional adaptive data reduction during continuous data streaming.

This work introduces a deterministic methodology for segmenting individual grain contributions from complex high-density Laue microdiffraction datasets by leveraging spatial correlations and clustering of peak appearance maps.

Time-resolved small-angle neutron scattering with rapid contrast variation enables direct non-invasive measurement of water permeation kinetics and membrane structure under iso-osmotic conditions for lipid membranes.

An open-source program for the calculation and visualization of polarization-derived properties of crystalline material is described, alongside the integration of a polarizing image sensor into a home-built high-throughput imaging setup.

Using a newly developed 2D X-ray diffraction orientation simulation approach to isolate overlapping martensitic reflections, this study demonstrates that niobium controls continuous lattice symmetry evolution, whereas interstitial oxygen induces localized strain fields that nonlinearly govern the structural competition between α″ martensite and the athermal ω phase.

An experimental planning and data processing pipeline for spatially resolved neutron texture analysis has been implemented within the Mantid framework. The workflow processes time-of-flight neutron diffraction data to generate experimental pole figures, enabling non-destructive quantitative texture analysis of materials and components with complex texture distributions.
