Modern Diffractometers & Modern Models

In-house diffractometers and synchrotron beamlines provide extremely high-intensity primary beams, with detectors becoming faster, larger, and more widely available. The question arises as to whether automation will lead to a situation where datasets are directly forwarded to repositories, carrying the associated risk of creating “damaged” database entries.

From too good to impossible experiments on large scale facilities

The intensity of synchrotrons or free-electron lasers is unprecedented and the exact positions of atomic nuclei are referenced against data obtained from neutron sources. However, there has been significant progress in both the home lab instruments and the methods for modelling. As a result, many experiments that would have required a large-scale facility just a few years ago…
