Expanded solid-state characterization services now deliver advanced X-ray diffraction, expert interpretation, and regulatory-ready data for market authorization and patents. WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind., Feb.

Polymers such as polypropylene are fundamental materials in the modern world, found in everything from computers to cars. Because of their ubiquity, it's vital that materials scientists know exactly ...

The new method can determine crystal structures underlying experimental data thus far difficult to analyze. A joint research team led by Yuuki Kubo and Shiji Tsuneyuki of the University of Tokyo has ...

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, ...

When laser energy is deposited in a target, numerous complex processes take place too rapidly to observe visually. To study and adapt such processes, researchers often use computer modeling. However, ...
