Big Bang is Coming!

Early Autumn To Bring Explosion of New Software

3 August 2023

The biggest releases in our company's history are coming up fast on the horizon. As perfectionists, we want everything to be perfect for you, so we're keeping details brief at this stage, but here are some tantalising titbits:

• CrystalMaker 11 with full crystal-energy modelling, dispersion curves, lattice dynamics...
• CrystalDiffract 7 with Rietveld structure refinement made easy + comprehensive Phase ID
• SingleCrystal 5 with crystal morphologies, 3D diffraction, instant auto indexing, DM3/DM4...

As the ONLY company writing true native Mac and Windows software(*) for all areas of crystallography, we can't wait to share these amazing products with you. Discerning conference goers can get previews in San Francisco and Melbourne.

(*) Other vendors rely on crude, third-party emulators such as Qt, wxWidgets or Java to fake a user interface. It's slow, it's clunky, it's inefficient - and it's ugly! Why spend top money on new hardware when you're going to hobble it with such lazy bloatware? Or you could give your users a break and empower them with our genuine native software: it's a breath of fresh air that'll blow away the competition.

See us in San Francisco!

International Union of Crystallography, Melbourne

3 August 2023

We are proud to be the first exhibiting sponsor at the IUCr convention, scheduled for 22-27 August in Melbourne, Australia.

We've been supporting IUCr since last century (Glasgow, 1999), early in our company's history. We continue to sponsor the IUCr through their meetings and online advertising - and we were the very-first company to sign up to the Melbourne exhibition.

As is typical of IUCr meetings, this is a long show. Events kick off with a reception on Monday 22 August, at the Melbourne Convention & Exhibition Centre (a.k.a. "Jeff's Shed"). We'll then be exhibiting through Saturday 26 August. Come find us at the focal point of the exhibition hall, booth 35, next to the barrista!

This will be your chance to get a live preview of "Big Bang" - major new products across the line. Come see the most-spectacular 3D graphics, enhanced with real-time A.I.-powered "magic" hand tracking, on Apple's incredible 32-inch Pro Display HDR. And as with the ACS convention a week earlier, we'll be continuing our early-bird offers to keen show goers. Exhibition hours are:-

Tuesday August 22	7 pm - 9 pm ← Welcome Reception
Wednesday August 23	9 am - 4:30 pm
Thursday August 24	9 am - 4 pm
Friday August 25	9 am - 4 pm
Saturday August 26	9 am - 4:30 pm
