Dr Han Wu from UCL CNIE has had her first Science paper “Medium-density amorphous ice” published.
8 February 2023


The paper can be accessed here.
‘This is the first example of an in-house SAXS monitoring of a cryopreserved sample under vacuum, where technical barriers were overcome by making our own cooling device with non-standard operation. There are some really nice stories about this special amorphous ice and its weird properties. SAXS is a key technique to directly measure its structure from extremely low temperatures around -180°C’.
This project was led by Prof Christoph Salzmann, Dr Alexander Rosu-Finsen (UCL Chemistry), Prof Andrea Sella (UCL Chemistry) and Prof Angelos Michaelides (University of Cambridge Yusuf Hamied Department of Chemistry) with important contribution from CNIE SAXS facility at the UCL Department of Chemical Engineering.
