Soft X‐ray diffraction gratings coupled with advanced multilayer coatings represent a pivotal innovation in the development of high‐resolution spectroscopic instruments. These devices utilise periodic ...

Inside the Findings That Shaped Materials Science takes a closer look at some of those turning points - the ideas, lab ...

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 ...

X-rays are such a fundamental part of our modern technological landscape that it's kind of surprising to learn that their discovery was accidental.

Dr. Akhilesh Tripathi has spent over two decades teaching X-ray diffraction (XRD) and training users of Rigaku's MiniFlex benchtop XRD system. In this conversation, he shares how benchtop XRD ...

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 ...

Scientists at PSI refined an X-ray diffraction technique that maps bone structure from nanometres to millimetres in about an hour, revealing collagen fibre alignment and enabling faster research on ...

Researchers at Kumamoto University have discovered that a purely inorganic crystal grown from water solution can emit ...
