Scientists at the Department of Energy's Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) have developed a new way to determine atomic structures from nanocrystals previously considered unusable, ...

Abstract: High-refractive-index materials have become increasingly critical for advanced photonic applications. Wurtzitestructured gallium phosphide (WZ-GaP) is particularly promising due to its ...

University of Houston researchers developed a new X-ray imaging method capable of revealing hidden features in a single shot, a breakthrough that could advance cancer detection, disease monitoring, ...

Mona Lisa's X-ray uncovers Leonardo da Vinci's paint chemical structuresAURELIEN MORISSARD/POOL/AFP via Getty Images The world-famous painting of the Mona Lisa by Leonardo da Vinci, painted between ...

Back in 2010, crystallographer Tim Gruene heard a scientist from drugmaker Novartis say something that stuck with him. The pharmaceutical giant had amassed a collection of around 2 million small ...

XRD works by directing X-rays onto a crystalline material and analyzing the angles and intensities of the diffracted beams. The atomic planes within the crystal act as a three-dimensional grating, ...

The new method can determine crystal structures underlying experimental data thus far difficult to analyze. A joint research team led by Yuuki Kubo and Shiji Tsuneyuki of the University of Tokyo has ...

Materials are made of tiny crystallites and non-crystallites; the former gives distinct patterns on interaction with X-rays, as the X-ray wavelength is identical to the inter-atomic spacing in ...

While the powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD) industry tends to favor linear strip detectors (1D) over point detectors (0D) due to their speed, there are many situations in which users would obtain ...
