Electron diffraction methods have emerged as powerful tools for elucidating the atomic structures of a wide range of materials. Among these methods, cryo‐electron microscopy and microcrystal electron ...

(Nanowerk News) Metal-Organic Frameworks (MOFs) are porous crystalline materials whose structure resembles a scaffold of beams around a large empty space; this internal space can be used to store ...

What is Transmission Kikuchi Diffraction (TKD)? The Transmission Kikuchi Diffraction (TKD) technique, a.k.a. transmission EBSD (t-EBSD), has been recently introduced as a Scanning Electron Microscope ...

Nanoscopy is a field of microscopy that focuses on imaging and studying structures and processes at the nanoscale, typically below the diffraction limit of light. It encompasses various techniques ...

XRD works by directing X-rays onto a crystalline material and analyzing the angles and intensities of the diffracted beams. The atomic planes within the crystal act as a three-dimensional grating, ...

Scientists at the Paul Scherrer Institute PSI have refined an X-ray diffraction technique for detecting biological structures from nanometers to millimeters—reducing the time needed to make the ...

Crystallography let scientists see materials as systems of ordered atoms, turning materials research into a predictive science. In revealing how atomic arrangements govern strength, conductivity, and ...

ROURKELA: A six-day mega workshop on Crystallography and Rietveld Refinement Analysis kicked off at the National Institute of Technology-Rourkela (NIT-R) here on Monday. Three distinguished scientists ...
