For many decades, the method to obtain atomic-level descriptions of chemical compounds and materials—be it a drug, a catalyst ...

X-ray crystallography, like mass spectroscopy and nuclear spectroscopy, is an extremely useful material characterization technique that is unfortunately hard for amateurs to perform. The physical ...

When it comes to benchtop powder x-ray diffractometers, researchers may think of systems in which functionality is sacrificed in favor of conserving space and cost. Users may be left with the ...

Fig. 2. (a) Coherent phonon oscillations with a frequency of 2.6 THz observed in optical pump/femtosecond x-ray diffraction probe experiments for different pump fluences of the mid-infrared excitation ...

DEBYE-SCHERRER X-ray powder patterns are conventionally obtained on photographic emulsions in times of the order of hours. When special techniques are used, the time required can be reduced to minutes ...

For the first time, researchers can study the microstructures inside metals, ceramics and rocks with X-rays in a standard laboratory without needing to travel to a particle accelerator, according to ...

What is X-Ray Scattering? X-ray scattering is a powerful analytical technique used to probe the structure and properties of materials at the nanoscale. It involves directing a beam of X-rays at a ...

The images (b) show the collagen distribution in pike bones before (left) and after (right) a μCT experiment and (c) before (left) and after (right) an X-ray diffraction μCT experiment at the mySpot ...

On June 13, The University of Sydney’s, Sydney Analytical, proudly opened their new high performance single crystal X-ray diffraction facility. Befitting of this world class facility, the newly ...

Inside the Findings That Shaped Materials Science takes a closer look at some of those turning points - the ideas, lab ...

X-ray techniques have been used for decades by authorities to prevent crime and keep people safe. Perhaps their most well-known use is for the detection of dangerous and banned items or substances, ...
