The DyCoMax workshop @esrfsynchrotron ends with a round table incl. a discussion about new access modes: Block Allocation Groups driven by techniques such as the gas gun. Please contact us in case you are interested to participate. #synchrotron #shocks #Shockwave #XRI @MEx_ESRF

DyCoMax continuous @esrfsynchrotron online with presentation by David Chapman @OxfordMaterials about research using #gasgun at @SoM_esrf beamline ID19. #EBS #SHOCK #synchrotron #Materials @MEx_ESRF

I meant that to be an ice-breaker, to help settle the nerves. Guess it had the opposite effect!

Join a "dynamic" team conducting fundamental and applied research at the intersection of physics, materials science, and solid mechanics. Get in-touch for more information, and note the 22 January deadline is fast approaching!

Know anyone who might be interested in starting a DPhil in Engineering Science at Oxford? We are actively recruiting for several fully-funded studentships for an Oct 2021 start:

This is an excellent opportunity to see what advanced X-ray sources can offer to shock compression science - really pleased to see this event back on the radar. Our very own David Chapman will be speaking on real-time visualisation of spall failure. Come show your support!

The latest chapter on shock-driven cavities is out now. Great example of the power of simulation to add vivid detail (beyond what we could see with X-rays!) to the mechanisms of collapse. Thanks to Nirmal and Uday, and @FLFusion @SoM_esrf @oxengsci. authors.elsevier.com/c/1bR2A57Zjx1J…

Our latest paper on shock-wave driven collapse of cavities in solids is out now in @SciReports! This work utilises real-time Xray PCI to reveal how strength influences the mode of collapse. doi.org/10.1038/s41598… Thanks for reading! @SoM_esrf @esrfsynchrotron @oxengsci

We are building a rapid prototype Ventilator for COVID - 19. If you want to help, at any UK University, then get in touch. Our aim is Open Source, Highly healthcare integrated technology. One Biomedical Engineering community.

@3SRLukicB So sorry to hear about this. Terrible thing indeed...

Terrible news, years of research lost, many experimental rooms burned down, everyone is shocked. Thanks everyone for their support. 3SR will bounce back!

“Detailed knowledge of the structure of crystal defects is essential for optimising material performance. Normally you think of defects as bad, however there is a fantastic opportunity here to enhance material properties by defect engineering” eng.ox.ac.uk/news/nano-scal… @FHofmannOxf

The adverts have just gone live for 2 new fully-funded, DPhil studentships in my group. Interested in how materials behave under impact and shock loading? bit.ly/shocktin bit.ly/AMfragment

Aged 14-16, creative, inventive and curious? Join us for Uncover Engineering, a free residential course for girls in April 2020, staying @SomervilleOx & taking part in hands-on workshops & talks in a range of engineering disciplines. eng.ox.ac.uk/uncover #UncoverEngineering

Here it is! First EBS stored beam! Today at 12:30 pm, first electrons have been stored for the first time in the new EBS storage ring. The adventure has started! #EBSbeam #WhatsUpEBS

Today @SoM_esrf presents high-speed #Xray imaging @esrfsynchrotron to students @Ritsumeikan_PR university (Japan) during an invited seminar. #synchrotron #photonics #realtime #EBS

Join Structure of Materials group @SoM_esrf !!! Postdoctoral fellow positions are announced online as of today tinyurl.com/y4k85yt2 @esrfsynchrotron - look for #XRAY #Microscopy #XRD #diffraction #metallurgy #tomography #EBS #synchrotron
