An artistic impression of the experiment: 3D rendering of the micro-scale stainless steel grain investigated in this study showing the evolution of defects inside it with time (early – blue lines, later – red lines). The grain is embedded within a polycrystalline bulk sample, as schematically. By focussing a coherent X-ray beam on this grain, a coherent X-ray diffraction pattern can be measured, from which the shape of the grain and the defects inside it can be reconstructed. By continually monitoring this grain while hydrogen is introduced, researchers studied how hydrogen interacts with defects.
