Reinventing materials discovery for a sustainable future

logo

We revolutionize materials discovery, optimization, and understanding. To achieve this, we are modernizing materials science workflows, democratizing access to highest-quality experiments, analytics, and expertise.

In particular, we offer a new mode for accessing large-scale X-ray producing facilities called synchrotrons where materials R&D targets can be characterized at the atomic scale with a quality and scale unachievable in standard laboratories.

Our services are suitable for applications in crystal structure solution, characterization of nanostructured and amorphous materials, and much more.
