(Nanowerk News) Turning up the intensity of x-ray beams used to probe the atomic structures of materials can actually reduce the intensity of x-rays scattered from the material, a RIKEN-led team has ...

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

Crystallography is the science of analyzing the pattern produced by shining an X-ray beam through a material sample. A powder sample produces a different pattern than solid crystal. One longstanding ...

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 ...

What is Bragg Coherent Diffraction Imaging? Bragg coherent diffraction imaging (BCDI) is a powerful X-ray imaging technique that allows researchers to visualize the internal structure and strain ...

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 ...

For more than 100 years, scientists have been using X-ray crystallography to determine the structure of crystalline materials such as metals, rocks, and ceramics. This technique works best when the ...

Physiochemical properties such as solubility and dissolution rate play a crucial role when it comes to the therapeutic efficacy of oral drug formulations. According to the Biopharmaceutical ...

Crystallography let scientists see materials as systems of ordered atoms, turning materials research into a predictive science. In revealing how atomic arrangements govern strength, conductivity, and ...

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, ...
