Episode 114: Synchrotron XRD on Demand

from Materialism: A Materials Science Podcast

Having access to advanced characterization tools sounds great but sadly they aren't easily attainable. Momentum Transfer seeks to remedy this by offering mail-in access to synchrotron X-ray powder diffraction and scattering measurements. Taylor sits down with Dr. Maxwell Terban co-founder of Momentum Transfer to go over the technology and his history with it. They also discuss some interesting uses of the technology including the characterization of Neanderthal campfire ash. This episode of the Materialism Podcast is sponsored by Momentum Transfer.
