Recent scientific advancements have opened new opportunities for the close observation of physical phenomena. Researchers at University of Cambridge and University of Newcastle recently introduced a ...

For more than 100 years, scientists have been using X-ray crystallography to determine the structure of crystalline materials such as metals, rocks, and ceramics. Whether sedimentary rocks store ...

Figure 1: Coherent electron diffraction pattern recorded from a single, faceted, Au nanocrystal (∼4 nm in size). To extract surface structural information from the diffraction patterns, we choose ...

Scientists have successfully completed a series of commissioning experiments to solve their very first protein structure on a ...

Using high-powered laser beams, researchers have simulated conditions inside a planet three times as large as Earth. The pressures achieved in this study, up to 1,314 gigapascals (GPa), allowed ...

The intermediate range order of covalent glasses has been extensively studied in terms of the first sharp diffraction peak (FSDP), but the direct observation of the atomic density fluctuations that ...

The Office for Research, McCormick School of Engineering, Weinberg College of Arts and Sciences and the Materials Science and Engineering Department have jointly licensed the CrystalMaker Suite for ...
