About Us

Our goal is to revolutionize the process of materials discovery, optimization, and understanding. To achieve this, we are striving to modernize materials science workflows, and democratize 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.
