With the increasing shortage of natural resources, innovative technologies that provide for the sustainable use of raw materials are increasingly sought after. Mineralogist Dr. Robert Moeckel is ...

The X-ray Crystallography Center was fully renovated in November 2007 and houses a single-crystal X-ray diffraction system, a brand-new Bruker D8 VENTURE diffractometer, providing X-ray diffraction ...

Particle size analysis is crucial to quality control and product development in a number of key industries including aerosols, construction, food and beverage, paint and coatings, and pharmaceuticals.

X-ray diffraction (XRD) is a non-invasive method for determining that can be used in phase analysis investigations of crystalline materials. Image Credit: AgriTech/Shutterstock.com The essential idea ...

Lab scale: Members of Ashley Bucsek’s group can now use three-dimensional X-ray diffraction to study polycrystalline materials on campus, whereas they would previously only have been able to do this ...

X-rays, a type of electromagnetic radiation with wavelengths from 0.01 to 10 nanometers, pack enough energy to pierce materials and interact with inner-shell electrons. 1 When they hit a sample, ...
