The X-Ray Analysis Core Lab includes x-ray powder diffraction (XRD) and x-ray fluorescence (XRF) instruments. This lab offers staff operated analysis as well as training. All reservations are made in ...

Coherent X-ray Diffraction Imaging (CXDI) is a transformative, non-destructive technique that leverages the interference patterns produced by coherent X-ray beams to reconstruct high-resolution, ...

Two independent groups of physicists have found a new way to get high-definition glimpses of the innards of living cells. The technique uses X-ray diffraction microscopy on cells frozen below –170 °C, ...

Three-dimensional imaging is dramatically expanding our ability to examine biological specimens enabling a peek into internal structures. Recent advance in X-ray diffraction method has greatly ...

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 ...

Developing an effective and robust system for deepening our understanding of the characteristics of the tissue, structure, mechanical properties and organization of bone at the level of the nanoscale, ...

X-ray diffraction (XRD) is an essential technique to identify the structures and compositions of newly developed materials. However, XRD patterns consist of multiple peaks, and it is not always ...

The technique is typically carried out on a single crystal, but because not all substances easily form good quality crystals, powder X-ray diffraction (PXD) is sometimes used instead. Powder X-ray ...

Developing reliable and effective methods for the detection of explosive materials has become paramount in recent decades following high profile cases of terrorism, such as the events of 9/11. Since ...

X-ray crystallography, like mass spectroscopy and nuclear spectroscopy, is an extremely useful material characterization technique that is unfortunately hard for amateurs to perform. The physical ...
