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, ...

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 ...

With the development of different techniques for the synthesis of nanomaterials, researchers are constantly looking for a more precise instrument for their nanoscale characterization. X-ray ...

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 ...

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, ...

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 ...

Coherent X-ray Diffraction Imaging (CXDI) is a transformative, non-destructive technique that leverages the interference patterns produced by coherent X-ray beams to reconstruct high-resolution, ...

Three-dimensional imaging is dramatically expanding our ability to examine biological specimens enabling a peek into internal structures. Recent advance in X-ray diffraction method has greatly ...

The technique is typically carried out on a single crystal, but because not all substances easily form good quality crystals, powder X-ray diffraction (PXD) is sometimes used instead. Powder X-ray ...

Excillum and Bruker AXS have announced an exclusive collaboration to develop and market a new metal-jet X-ray source for X-ray diffraction applications. Bruker says that this new source is the fruit ...
