Welcome to the 2016 issue of the Diamond Industrial Liaison newsletter!
An area of research of particular importance in the UK is the field of nuclear decommissioning and radioactive waste management. Recent research from Diamond users in the field of nuclear research has focused on novel storage materials, understanding contamination in the exclusion zone around Fukushima and investigating how radwaste interacts with storage materials and the natural environment.

We are delighted to announce that we are hosting a free two day workshop on 15th and 16th June 2016 aimed at industrial scientists to raise awareness of the applications of bioSAXS to a wide range of projects. The two day workshop will feature talks from synchrotron staff and experienced users to showcase a range of industrial and academic research projects and will also include hands-on practical sessions on data collection on the beamline, data processing and modelling approaches. More information and free registration available here...
The next generation of aerospace components requires light weight and high performance materials. Leigh Connor from the Industry team is a co-investigator on an Innovate UK supported project on the high throughput development of superalloys along with Ilika plc and the University of Cambridge with input from Rolls Royce through the steering committee.

The small-molecule single-crystal diffraction beamline I19 at Diamond Light Source has been in operation since September 2008 and has recently undergone its first major upgrade. It now has a new high-throughput diffractometer in Experimental Hutch 1 (EH1), which will allow the determination of crystal structures from smaller, and more weakly diffracting, samples than was previously possible and with significantly faster data collection speeds. Find out more here...
Recent advances in instrumentation have led to a dramatic increase in both the speed and resolution of X-ray imaging techniques. Imaging techniques can be applied to a vast range of real world research and development challenges in fields as diverse as pharmaceuticals, automotive engineering, oil recovery and consumer products development. Sally gives us an overview of X-ray imaging at Diamond...
Fragment screening is a well-established approach in the development of novel compounds for drug discovery, yet nowhere has it been accessible as public facility. As featured in media coverage from the BBC and ITV, Diamond are now offering a world-first service called XChem, one-stop-shop that allows screening fragments by the most sensitive technique available, namely X-ray crystallography.

Many of our industrial users publish their non-commercially sensitive work. Full details of the latest papers are available here...
