February 2019
A manuscript on a fast algorithm for tensor tomography reconstruction, High-speed tensor tomography: iterative reconstruction tensor tomography (IRTT) algorithm, was featured in the cover of Acta Crystallographica Section A.
January 2018 Our newest manuscript on tensor tomography, Small-angle X-ray scattering tensor tomography: model of the three-dimensional reciprocal-space map, reconstruction algorithm and angular sampling requirements, was featured in the cover of Acta Crystallographica Section A.
December 2017Hard-X-ray magnetic tomography was featured in Optics in 2017, a special issue of Optics & Photonics News (OPN) that highlights the most exciting peer-reviewed optics research to have emerged over the past 12 months.
July 2017 A novel method for imaging 3D magnetization in the nanoscale, Three-dimensional magnetization structures revealed with X-ray vector nanotomography appeared in Nature. The work was also featured in Nature News & Views. You can also find more information on Paul Scherrer InstitutI media release Diving into magnets, or in the University of Glasgow release Imaging breakthrough reveals magnets internal patterns. For a lighter and less technical description you can read an original article in Forbes by Meriame Berboucha: Data storage problems could be a thing of the past with this new breakthrough In science, or the article in Physics World Nanoscale imaging looks deep into magnetic materials. In Physics Today Johanna L. Miller published a very nice article, X rays peer inside a magnet, putting our work in a broader context of magnetic investigations.
July 2017 Evolutionary-optimized photonic network structure in white beetle wing scales appeared in Advanced Materials. It was also chosen to be featured in an piece in Advanced Science News. The measurement shown is our first nanotomography measurement at cryo temperatures using OMNY and was used as input for electromagnetic simulations demonstrating the evolution-based optimization of the structure.
March 2017 High-resolution non-destructive three-dimensional imaging of integrated circuits appeared in Nature, it was also featured in their News and Views section. We demonstrate that X-ray ptychography can create 3D images of integrated circuits of known and unknown designs with a lateral resolution in all directions down to 14.6 nanometres, which "will improve IC inspection, with applications from health care to aviation". If you don't have access to Nature you can access a "view-only" full version here. Take a look at PSI press release 3-D X-ray imaging makes the finest details of a computer chip visible. And an independent explanation with quite good coverage of the concepts behind our imaging technique by TechCrunch X-ray technique creates nanometer-scale 3D reconstructions of computer chips. Finally there was an article in IEEE Spectrum that gives expert comments and insights in X-rays map the 3D interior of integrated circuits.
