Understanding instabilities and turbulence in plasmas is one of the key challenges across a wide range of plasma research ...

When investigating battery materials, the most commonly used tool is X-ray diffraction (XRD). By shining X-rays on a crystal ...

X-ray diffraction techniques underpin the characterisation of polycrystalline materials by exploiting the interaction of X-rays with lattice planes to reveal crystallographic orientation, phase ...

Researchers at the European XFEL and ETH Zurich have developed two methods, including a pixel-based colour separation technique and an algorithm called Dichography, to disentangle superimposed ...

Scientists from the University of Rochester say deep learning can supercharge a technique that is already the gold standard for characterizing new materials. In an npj Computational Materials paper, ...

Water ice under extreme pressure shifts into a denser, less symmetrical structure, informing planetary models while its ...

When we illuminate something, we usually expect that the brighter the source we use, the brighter the resulting image will be. This rule also works for ultra-short pulses of laser light—but only up to ...

What is X-Ray Crystallography? X-ray crystallography is a powerful analytical technique used to determine the atomic and molecular structure of crystalline materials. It involves directing a beam of X ...

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 ...
