More than 1,000 researchers across the globe already collaborate with us!
Whether you’re working in academic research or developing materials in industry—we support both.
What happens when world-class X-ray measurement becomes accessible?
For too long, researchers have had to compromise: accessible measurements with limited data quality, or high-end synchrotron facilities with long wait times.
Momentum Transfer removes this trade-off. We measure your samples using advanced X-ray techniques at ESRF’s beamline ID31—giving you synchrotron-quality data with consistent 7-day turnaround.
You send us your samples, we handle the rest: setup, measurement, and transparent data delivery tailored to your workflow.
Whether you’re working on five samples or five thousand, we scale with your research—no beamline access, no complex onboarding, and no delays.
It’s high-precision measurement, finally designed around the way research actually works.
"Momentum Transfer data have been incredibly valuable for my research. You can see things that just aren't visible in laboratory measurements."
Prof. Dave Billing
University of Witwatersrand
The high resolution data were considerably superior to all other data we have collected for the same samples...Such high resolution data are fundamental to discriminate several minor phases in cement samples and also extremely useful to distinguish polymorphism and minor contamination.
Prof. Carlos Campos
Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina
Overall, the XRD data quality is superb and your help plus documentation with reducing/fitting data is very helpful…. I hope we can keep using Momentum Transfer in the future. It’s really nice to be able to combine Rietveld+PDF.
Prof. Yoji Kobayashi
KAUST
The XRD look amazing. Previously, I thought our peak widths were materials-limited, but turns out they are definitely instrument limited on our lab instrument…. We will definitely consider sending you samples in the future.
Prof. Frederik Haase
Martin-Luther-Universität Halle-Wittenberg
Overall, I found your measurements are fast, the data reduction is very professional and saved me time from doing data reduction such as background correction, so I just need to focus on data analysis.

Built by researchers, for researchers
Our platform makes submitting samples, tracking progress, and accessing data seamless—so nothing slows down your research.
It was developed by researchers who know the process from the inside out: Dr. Maxwell Terban (Materials Scientist), Dr. Bernd Hinrichsen (Mineralogist), and Dr. Sebastian Winkler (Physicist) built the platform they once needed themselves.
From sample to data in days—not weeks or months
Collaborate with our scientists through a simple, guided process that delivers high-resolution data you can trust.
Submit your Request
Enter the key details about your sample and select from measurement techniques like HR-XRPD, SAXS, Total Scattering, or PDF analysis—our team reviews your request within 24 hours.
Send your samples to us
You’ll receive clear shipping instructions. Once received, we measure your samples within 7 days—no scheduling, no beamline bottlenecks.
Access and analyze your data
Download your results in ready-to-use formats like .xy, .fit, and .zip—or get expert insights through our collaborative support.
We know the frustration—we turned it into a solution.
We created Momentum Transfer to give researchers like us the kind of measurement experience we always wished existed—high-quality data, fast turnaround, and expert collaboration without the usual complexity.
Dr. Maxwell Terban
COO & Founder
“My ambition is to make it easier and faster to understand how different synthesis/processing methods affect the structure and properties of functional materials at the atomic- and nano-scale. In this way, we will help close the gaps to developing next generation technologies for energy, medicine, and the environment.”
Maxwell is a materials scientist with over a decade of experience in X-ray scattering methods. His background, combined with insights from extensive international collaboration, helps shape and improve our service offerings.
Dr. Bernd Hinrichsen
CSO & Founder
“Structural details too often get lost in noise. My personal goal is to allow all researchers access to the most detailed, clearest view of the atomic structure of their materials."
Bernd helped shape Momentum Transfer with a clear mission: to deliver the kind of reliable, high-quality diffraction data that makes meaningful structural insights possible—even in the most complex systems.
Dr. Sebastian Winkler
CEO
“I am excited to make this fantastic capability available for all materials researcher. I am very proud every time our customers call the combination of higher precision with more measurement capacity, and fast delivery time and a very competitive price a total game changer for their work. Every time I talk to a customer I see their excitement, when they plan what they can do with this capability we offer to them.”
Sebastian’s physics background and beamline experience are central to the Momentum Transfer philosophy: empowering researchers with fast, clear, and scientifically rigorous measurement—without unnecessary delays.
