Oh yes, and I hope you'll soon find out it's still growing! Everyone: π’ give a "Follow" to @momentum-transfer.com if you want to keep up with one of the most exciting partners of academia in accessible crystallographic services, especially #totalscattering ! π #crystallography #scisky #chemsky
So true π and a whole new community where I can recruit and find new #totalscattering acolytes and future leaders!
Congrats @tillschertenleib.bsky.social! I feel honoured to have served as committee memeber in your PhD defence: truly fantastic work on #totalscattering & #MOFs π

Incredible how so simple building blocks can form such a sophisticated, beautiful system... not to mention what we are still figuring out about it! Hopefully just the beginning of an exciting partnership with @jules-oppenheim.bsky.social and
@mirceadinca.bsky.social π

A Ming era portrait of Laozi shown together with some words from the opening of its renowned Tao Te Ching, modified in the total scattering context. The words say: "The structure that can be modelled is not the real structure; the scattering that can be simulated is not the real scattering"

"Good day Sir, here are today's options. Would you like anisotropic peak broadening, diffuse streaks, superstructure peaks, or twinning?" "Yes, please"

Delighted to share another work from my time with Peter Bruce, out now in EES @rsc.org
We look at how multi-length scale disorder shapes Li-ion transport in lithium argyrodites!

An awesome #TotalScattering initiative is unfolding in the protein #Crystallography world! As usual small molecule folks like me will have a lot to learn from our macromolecular colleagues π
... and its beautiful #Fouriertransform, completing #specialdefects pair nr. 55 πΎ Those who got a little used to how the Fourier space works might guess (correctly) that this looks essentially like the FFT of a single 12-pointed star βοΈ #BraggYourPattern #TotalScattering #Crystallography
A view of lake Ohrid on the homonym city. Blue, clear sky, trees packed mountains, and crystal clear water for a spectacular postcard-looking shot.
Crystal clear water, broad mountain peaks, and diffuse blue sky: everything we need is in place for an exciting #ECS10 #Crystallography #Totalscattering school π€³π»β΄οΈ
A computer screen with an opened power point presetnation. On the slide, still incomplete, four single crystal total scattering patterns are on display with mezmerising intensities in geometrical shapes. The patterns and diffuse scattering is shown in "hot" colour scheme.
I cannot wait to see how students will interact with my lectures at the coming schools on #crystallography #ECS10 and on #PorousMaterials @mofschool.bsky.social. Will I manage to hypnotize enough of them into starting to practice casual 3D #totalscattering as I did during my PhD? That's the plan ππ
A fabric with interwoven black and white threads, forming chaotic patterns that however have a systematic preference for diagonal homogeneity
Sneaky correlated disorder in the fabric of Danish train seats... Must have been a choice, and I totally agree πββοΈ #CasualDisorder #Crystallography #BraggYourPattern #TotalScattering
Look mom, I'm on CCDC! β¨ #totalscattering #MOFs
Great lineup covering both PDF and reciprocal space methods (Debye equation) for total scattering π PhD and postdocs looking forward to navigating #totalscattering for your materials science research: this might be interesting for you!
Here it is, pattern nr. 54 #crystallography #totalscattering #Fouriertransform #sciart #Braggyourpattern #specialdefects
Remember those patterns? Our article is finally out on @naturecomms.bsky.social and you can read what disordered marvels caused them! Thanks to @nchampness.bsky.social @ellamschmidt.bsky.social & all the great scientists I joined in this journey π

#BraggYourPattern #Crystallography #sciart #totalscattering
Seven single crystal diffuse scattering patterns are arranged in an hexagonal grid (experimental data): one pattern in the middle, six surrounding it.
I'll soon share a nice #singlecrystal #MOF #totalscattering work I've been hatching for a while with some great scientists... but since it's taking a while for seeing it online I thought I'd treat you all with an artistic collage of the data π ...stay tuned! #BraggYourPattern #crystallography
Indeed! Some of the best teachers you can possibly wish for (especially @ellamschmidt.bsky.social) will be guiding you through 3D-deltaPDF and #singlecrystal #totalscattering analysis theory and practice! π
Get ready to become single crystal #totalscattering fans β¨ Join us, we have sweets! (there will be sweets at the lecture, right? πΆ)

A series of pictures showing how disorder within order is ubiquitous in everyday life. From above: three string balls nailed onto a wall, descending into different, increasing lengths (Hanoi, Vietnam), bright red stick-looking threads from an unidentified landscape of cut thin light-grey tubes (Thailand), boundary between different sections of a road pavement made of square-ish blocks (Langley Park, Durham, UK), bunch of padlocks with different colours (Cologne, Germany), Series of plants grown from re-purposed Coca Cola bottles (Hanoi, Vietnam), close-up of brick-orange stairs (Blue Star Naxos, Greece), murales depicting mice interacting with one another while sticking out of some holes on a wall, painted on an actual wall made of bricks (Cologne, Germany), wooden white planks arranged on two merging sections, each having different orientation of the planks (Broughty Ferry, Scotland), tiling where tiles have a seemingly random but actually quite correlated distribution of colours, each tile being either black, red or yellow (Walailak Universtiy, Thailand), packing of orange candles looking like carrots (Votive candles, Amorgos, Greece), a surface covered in dress buttons of different sizes and colours (Jaca, Spain), Wall made of bricks oriented differently depending on the region of the wall (with longer or shorter side facing the viewer; Hanoi, Vietnam), metallic plate showing the structural diagram of the porphyrinic moiety of vitamin B12 from its crystal structure (VItamin B12, Original Copper Plate)

Why '2dsinΞΈ = nΞ»' when you can '2rsinΞΈ = Ξ»' ? There's so much more going on across that Ewald 'sphere' shell #crystallography #totalscattering
Reciprocal space reconstruction of a MOF sample showing a dense array of diffraction peaks. In the outer part of the figure, peaks are nicely spread out and clean, but as soon as the eye approaches the centre, more subtle additional reflections become stronger and stronger signalling a complex and highly correlated local structure.
The great thing about connecting with amazing scientists like @mirceadinca.bsky.social and @jules-oppenheim.bsky.social is also that you'll never know how awesome their materials are in reciprocal space; but now, as we say in Italy, "you wanted a bike, now ride"

And finally, the 8th #crystallography teaching set is online β
The series is now extended to 'shapes', 'molecules' (below), and 'creatures'... but be aware: by the time you reach the last section things get a little #nerdy πΎ -- #totalscattering #Fouriertransform

You're your real self, on a reciprocal spaceship, and you're dashing through reciprocal space at the dangerous speed of 2.2 Bragg planes per second π... everything looks very diffuse, is it just the speed? #reciprocalspacetravel #crystallography #MOFs #totalscattering
