For thousands of these materials, X-ray diffraction patterns exist but remain unsolved. To try to crack the structures of these materials, Freedman and her colleagues trained a machine-learning model ...

MIT.nano has added a new X-ray diffraction (XRD) instrument to its characterization toolset, enhancing facility users' ability to analyze materials at ...

SO-CALLED extra or forbidden rings have been observed from time to time in electron diffraction patterns, and their origin has been attributed to half-order diffractions or impurities. Cases in which ...

At the smallest scales of nature, the rules of the world shift in ways that can feel unsettling and beautiful at the same time. Matter no longer behaves like solid objects moving along clear paths.

Smart textiles from liquid crystal elastomer fibers can now be melted down and reknitted with nearly identical shape-shifting performance.

Accurate particle size analysis is vital for mining and geology, driving efficiency, regulatory compliance, and the ...

A machine-learning loop searched 14 million battery cathode compositions and found fivefold performance gains across four metrics using fewer than 200 experiments.

Atoms measure roughly 0.1 nanometers across, a scale so small that scientists spent more than six decades developing ...

I n 2023, archaeologists excavating a burial mound near the town of Nördlingen in Bavaria, Germany hit pay dirt: a grave dating back to the Bronze Age containing the remains of a man, woman, and child ...

To capture higher-definition and sharper images of cosmological objects, astronomers sometimes combine the data collected by several telescopes. This approach, known as long-baseline interferometry, ...
