The global oil trade is a complex and highly lucrative industry that relies on accurate analysis of crude oil samples. Ensuring the quality, origin, and authenticity of oil samples is crucial for ...

Recent advances in electron density analysis and X‐ray diffraction studies have dramatically refined our understanding of atomic and molecular structures. By employing cutting‐edge techniques that ...

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, ...

X-ray Diffraction (XRD) plays a pivotal role in material characterization during the production of lithium-ion battery electrodes. For anodes, it helps analyze the degree of graphitization in graphite ...

On June 13, The University of Sydney’s, Sydney Analytical, proudly opened their new high performance single crystal X-ray diffraction facility. Befitting of this world class facility, the newly ...

In this article, we explore how X-ray diffraction, also known as XRD, can be used to analyze thin films and the benefits of using this technique. Many materials are now processed in the form of thin ...

What is Scanning Transmission X-ray Microscopy (STXM)? Scanning Transmission X-ray Microscopy (STXM) is a powerful imaging technique that combines the principles of X-ray spectroscopy and microscopy ...

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

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 ...

Diagram of an X-ray Reflectometry (XRR) setup: This schematic shows the arrangement of the X-ray tube, Gӧbel mirror, sample holder, and detector. The X-rays are emitted from the tube, shaped by slits ...

Using intense X-rays, researchers captured a buckyball as it expanded, split and shed electrons under strong laser fields. Detailed scattering measurements showed how the molecule behaves at low, ...
