For the first time, physicists have watched a beam of positronium, a short‑lived atom made of an electron and its antimatter ...

One of the discoveries that fundamentally distinguished the emerging field of quantum physics from classical physics was 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 ...

During chemical reactions, atoms in the reacting substances break their bonds and re-arrange, forming different chemical ...

When a laser beam is incident on many small objects such as lycopodium powder, the resulting diffraction pattern is similar to the diffraction pattern of a small circular aperture (Airy's disk pattern ...

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, ...

X-ray powder diffraction exploits the interaction between x-rays and matter to study the structural and microstructural properties of materials. X-ray powder diffraction (XRPD) is a powerful technique ...

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 ...

For the first time, researchers from Tokyo University of Science have observed wave-like interference patterns from ...
