When a massive star collapses or two neutron stars collide billions of light-years away, the explosion can unleash a brief, ...

In the future, this kind of novel X-ray optics should be available to users at the BESSY II synchrotron source. Among many applications, the improved resolution permits investigations on ...

Research on X-ray and gamma-ray beams highlights their advantages in interstellar communication, offering new strategies for ...

The X-ray Crystallography Center was fully renovated in November 2007 and houses a single-crystal X-ray diffraction system, a brand-new Bruker D8 VENTURE diffractometer, providing X-ray diffraction ...

Lab scale: Members of Ashley Bucsek’s group can now use three-dimensional X-ray diffraction to study polycrystalline materials on campus, whereas they would previously only have been able to do this ...

In pharmaceuticals, PXRD is most commonly used to detect traces of polymers. Better detectors and optical technologies are being developed primarily to push the limits of detection (LOD) still lower.

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 ...
