Figure 1: X-ray dynamic diffraction imaging. X-rays diffracted from the sample were detected on a soft X-ray charge-coupled device (CCD) camera. The angular acceptance of the CCD was 15° at the ...

The (relatively) ancient art of crystallography has had a huge impact on modern science by showing us the location of atoms within a molecule. The structure of DNA (and how it acts as an information ...

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 sample of Martian soil. X-ray ...

In the field of scanning electron microscopy (SEM), the electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD) method has developed into a robust tool for the crystallographic analysis of materials. Specifically, ...

The spectrum of laser technologies available to hackers has gradually widened from basic gas lasers through CO2 tubes, diode lasers, and now fiber lasers. One of the newer entries is the MOPA laser, ...

X-ray diffraction (XRD) is a powerful non-destructive analytical technique used to evaluate crystalline materials and determine their structural properties. As one of the most widely used ...

For thousands of years, thinkers argued about whether light is made of particles or waves. At the beginning of the 20th ...

Imaging technology has transformed how we observe the universe—from mapping distant galaxies with radio telescope arrays to ...
