IN an earlier communication 1 we stated that the X-ray powder diffraction pattern of solid deuterium chloride recorded at 118.5° K and the corresponding neutron powder diffraction pattern recorded at ...

For scientists and engineers, the best way to understand a new or unknown material--whether it's an alloy, a pharmaceutical or a meteorite--is to delve into its atoms. Techniques such as X-ray ...

Inside the Findings That Shaped Materials Science takes a closer look at some of those turning points - the ideas, lab innovations, and breakthroughs that shifted the way we study and use materials.
