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, ...

X-ray powder diffraction (XRD) is a powerful structural characterization tool that is essentially a two point probe which measures the distance between all pairs of atoms within the diffraction volume ...

In this interview, AZoM talks to Chris Shaffer, Business Development Manager, North America, for Thermo Scientific XRF, XRD and OES products, about x-ray diffraction and the importance of sample ...

The first high-resolution x-ray diffraction imaging of an aerogel, performed at beamline 9.0.1 of the Department of Energy's Advanced Light Source at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, has ...

Two independent groups of physicists have found a new way to get high-definition glimpses of the innards of living cells. The technique uses X-ray diffraction microscopy on cells frozen below –170 °C, ...

Our analytical XRD instrument utilises X-ray radiation to investigate the structure of crystallised biomolecular assemblies through X-ray diffraction (XRD). X-ray radiation is a type of ionising ...

A new X-ray diffraction technique that works on single organic molecules has been demonstrated by an international team of researchers. The team hopes that, with further development, the method could ...

Developing an effective and robust system for deepening our understanding of the characteristics of the tissue, structure, mechanical properties and organization of bone at the level of the nanoscale, ...

X-ray diffraction methods lie at the foundation of materials science. Determination of the crystal structures of natural minerals and, later, of crystals grown in the laboratory led to our ...
