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 microchips that power our phones, computers, and countless other devices look perfectly uniform on the outside, but on the atomic scale, they may be hiding secret patterns. A team of scientists ...

Figure 1: a) Stationary diffraction pattern of cBN powder, integrated over the Debye-Scherrer rings, measured with femtosecond x-ray pulses as a function of the diffraction angle 2θ. b) Transient ...

Single-crystal diffraction was invented 100 years ago by Max von Laue. It has since become a workhorse technique for chemists to determine the structures of organometallic complexes and other ...
