X-ray diffraction (XRD) is an analytical method that probes the periodic arrangement of atoms in crystalline materials by measuring the angular distribution and intensity of X-rays scattered by the ...

Material on a powder X-ray diffraction image plate is analyzed at the Omega Laser Facility at the University of Rochester’s Laboratory for Laser Energetics. Scientists are developing deep-learning ...

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 ...

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 ...

When laser energy is deposited in a target, numerous complex processes take place too rapidly to observe visually. To study and adapt such processes, researchers often use computer modeling. However, ...

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 a sample fluoresces during a powder x-ray diffraction (XRD) experiment, the resulting errors in the quantitative results may render the experiment meaningless. Fluorescence is especially common ...

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 ...

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 ...

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, ...
