Interview with Leonard Chavas: Empowering Science Through Cutting Edge Technology
Structural biology is a field where precision meets discovery, and few understand this better than Leonard Chavas. He has been at the forefront of structural biology at synchrotrons for 25 years. As of April 1, 2025, he joins DECTRIS Japan as a sales manager. We sat down with him to discuss his journey, motivations, and vision for the future.
Unlocking the Secrets of Optical Materials: A Conversation with Anna Krawczuk
In the world of materials science, understanding structure-property relationships is key to designing innovative materials with enhanced optical and electronic properties. Dr. Anna Krawczuk, a junior Professor at Göttingen University, is at the forefront of this pursuit, combining experimental and theoretical approaches in quantum crystallography. Recently, she has been leveraging a one-of-a-kind setup that integrates an Excillum MetalJet X-ray source, a Bruker goniometer, and a DECTRIS detector. In this interview, she shares insights into her research and how this unique instrumentation has t

Fusion Record Set for Tungsten at WEST Tokamak by U.S. Researchers with Swiss PILATUS X-Ray Detector
Baden, May 6, 2024 – Researchers at the Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory (PPPL) of the U.S. Department of Energy have set a new fusion record using PILATUS3 detectors provided by DECTRIS. The record was set at WEST, the Tungsten (W) Environment in Steady-state Tokamak; the fusion device sustained a hot plasma at about 50 million degrees Celsius for six minutes. DECTRIS is proud to be part of this success, which highlights the key role of public-private partnerships, as well as that of Swiss technology based on Hybrid Photon Counting, in advancing energy research. Finally, the record was mad
