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 ...

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, ...

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 ...

An overarching goal of ultrafast science is to enable researchers to watch structural changes in matter on their natural timescale. Experimentally ...

Researchers have determined the structure of the protein rubredoxin at 0.43 Ångström resolution, marking the highest ...

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, ...

XRF relies on the ionization of atoms within a sample. When a sample is irradiated with high-energy x-rays, inner-shell electrons are ejected. As outer-shell electrons fall to fill these vacancies, ...

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 ...

2D-XRD, or two-dimensional X-ray diffraction, is a powerful analytical technique used to study the atomic and molecular structure of crystalline materials at the nanoscale. It provides detailed ...

The Materials Research X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) Facility at the University of Colorado Boulder provides cutting-edge capabilities for probing the structures of materials such as polymers, biological ...
