The final STOE User Talk of the 2025/2026 season is coming!

Prof. Constantin Hoch (LMU Munich) will explore whether laboratory powder diffraction can be as accurate as synchrotron measurements, using amalgams as model systems. Practical insights for data quality and Rietveld refinements included.

@famousblueben Ben @famousblueben , and Greg @GPJohnston,
I got lots of results searching Mastodon for Rockhounding, Geology, Lapidary, RockTumbling, Gemology, Crystallography, etc.

No rock clubs meeting online, yet, though.

Different search results with and without intercaps, e.g., rockhounding, and RockHounding. (Why?  :shrug:)

🚀 Publication news!

Our overview article on STOE’s X-Area software is now available online in Zeitschrift für Kristallographie.

The paper highlights the software’s integrated approach to data collection, processing, and analysis for single-crystal diffraction.

We’re excited to share this with the crystallography community!

📢 STOE User Talk

Using the example of photoinduced linkage isomerism, it is shown how the combination of single-crystal XRD with in-situ static and transient absorption spectroscopy enables the investigation of photoswitching mechanisms and structure–property relationships.
