X-ray diffraction methods lie at the foundation of materials science. Determination of the crystal structures of natural minerals and, later, of crystals grown in the laboratory led to our ...

Scientists have successfully completed a series of commissioning experiments to solve their very first protein structure on a ...

The intermediate range order of covalent glasses has been extensively studied in terms of the first sharp diffraction peak (FSDP), but the direct observation of the atomic density fluctuations that ...

Researchers already knew the atoms in perovskites react favorably to light. Now they've seen precisely how the atoms move when the 2D materials are excited with light. Their study details the first ...

Using ultrahigh-intensity x-ray beams can cause the intensity of diffraction patterns from samples to drop Figure 1: An x-ray diffraction pattern obtained from a ...

For more than 100 years, scientists have been using X-ray crystallography to determine the structure of crystalline materials such as metals, rocks, and ceramics. Whether sedimentary rocks store ...

Scientists reveal for the first time the atomic structure of liquid carbon, key to exoplanets and nuclear fusion.

The microchips that power our phones, computers, and countless other devices look perfectly uniform on the outside, but on ...

The Office for Research, McCormick School of Engineering, Weinberg College of Arts and Sciences and the Materials Science and Engineering Department have jointly licensed the CrystalMaker Suite for ...
