Running in situ isothermal crystallisation studies of #zeolites (165°C, 40 bar) at BM01@SNBL @esrf.fr, simultaneously monitoring conductivity, T and P in situ, using our newest sample environment.

I have massively enjoyed "The Creative Act" by @rickrubin.bsky.social. Although speaking mostly about art, some of Rick's ideas are highly valuable for other creators like scientists and researchers.

Last week I presented our new high-pressure impedance / X-ray cell at #IZC2025 in Dalian, China. It combines electrical and structural characterization as well as temperature measurement in a single ul sample volume. Useful to study crystal formation in liquids. More soon in our paper.

The next generation of this cell allows simultaneous in situ X-ray and 4-wire impedance measurements. Prototype running on BM01 @esrfsynchrotron. Stay tuned for more details on the design and results in the field of #zeolite crystallisation. Design by @nikido.bsky.social. @SET_KULeuven

Don't use red and green data lines/surfaces in the same panel please #chemsky. It can be difficult for some colorblind readers to differentiate them. I've accepted (in principle) 2 papers today, and both sets of authors were asked to remove red/green colour contrasts www.nature.com/articles/d41...
