Extend NeXus for experiments and characterization in Materials Science and Materials Engineering and serve as a NOMAD parser implementation for NeXus.

pynxtools: FAIR data handling using NeXus

pynxtools is an open-source Python package designed for making your experimental data FAIR. pynxtools is a parser for combining various instrument output formats and electronic lab notebook (ELN) formats into an HDF5 file according to NeXus application definitions.

Additionally, the software can be used as a plugin in the research data management system NOMAD for making experimental data searchable and publishable. NOMAD is developed by the FAIRmat consortium which is a consortium of the German National Research Data Infrastructure (NFDI).
