About Us:
Our Venture Team Momentum Transfer is revolutionizing materials science by democratizing access to synchrotron X-ray powder diffraction data. By removing the lengthy wait times and high costs associated with typical access modes, we are making advanced materials characterization accessible to researchers and professionals worldwide.
The Product
At Momentum Transfer, we are building an innovative platform that couples advanced measurement services and materials science analytics to help researchers understand their materials like never before.
Our service helps researchers gain access to measurements at synchrotrons (particle accelerators for materials science) in a singular fashion:

• unparalleled measurement scalability
• extraordinary data quality
• unique possibilities to extract materials knowledge from the measurement data

In addition, we are building a materials data analysis platform, based on data from our service and from users, to help scientists accelerate their materials development processes through data-driven decisions.
