AXIS (AI-based Crystal Identification System) combines artificial intelligence with an iterative Lab-in-the-Loop approach for automated crystal detection. AXIS ensures high performance in crystal detection, requires small training datasets and facilitates rapid adaptation to local and changing conditions at any given facility.

The Human Organ Atlas provides open access to 3D images of human anatomy spanning whole organs to cellular scale resolution.

In 2026, it will be the 50th Anniversary of the Stanford Synchrotron Radiation Laboratory (SSRL) SR and protein crystallography initiative led by Keith Hodgson and published in 1976. This seminal r...

A multi-facility round-robin comparison of synchrotron- and laboratory-based nano-computed tomography using a standardized 3D phantom reveals superior resolution and acquisition speed at synchrotrons, while advanced laboratory systems achieve competitive image quality with extended scan times; phase contrast modalities further enhance structural visibility.

A Jungfrau-1M integrating detector was characterized at Diamond Light Source and found to be effective for recording macromolecular crystallography diffraction patterns. Parameters for operation and data collection were explored and characterized. The Diamond facility will be upgraded and integrating detectors, such as Jungfrau, will be used more widely in the future.

This blind test uses three known samples to determine the accuracy limits of 3D electron diffraction and to assess various challenges. The study aims to evaluate how well different users with diverse experimental setups can perform tasks such as hydrogen-atom detection, mixed occupancy analysis and absolute structure determination. By comparing results across multiple participants and platforms, we can gauge the reliability of the method and identify potential areas for improvement in 3D electron diffraction techniques.

Modelling of radiation damage and beam-induced heating at extremely high flux macromolecular crystallography beamlines is presented.
