“The powder method has gained a new importance in neutron diffraction owing to the general lack of large specimens for single-crystal methods”. With this brief opening sentence of his landmark paper ...

Crystals reveal the hidden geometry of molecules to the naked eye. Scientists use crystals to figure out the atomic structure of new materials, but many materials can't be grown large enough. Now, a ...

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 ...

X-ray diffraction (XRD) is a powerful non-destructive analytical technique used to evaluate crystalline materials and determine their structural properties. As one of the most widely used ...

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.

In this interview, AZoM talks to Daniel Brau, Managing Director of Photonic Science, about the working principles of diffraction Laue cameras, and what makes Photonic Science's Laue crystal ...
