Jordan Roach uses a Raman microscope to examine a sample of U3O8 affixed to carbon tape on an aluminum stub. Roach uses Raman ...

Angular spectrum methods constitute a powerful framework for simulating wave propagation and diffraction phenomena in optical systems. By decomposing a complex wavefield into its constituent plane ...

Back in 2010, crystallographer Tim Gruene heard a scientist from drugmaker Novartis say something that stuck with him. The pharmaceutical giant had amassed a collection of around 2 million small ...

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 ...

Could you start by explaining your background in crystallography and how you began using the Rigaku Synergy-ED system? Fraser: I began my journey into crystallography at the University of Edinburgh in ...

Standard stages for X-ray diffraction are designed to carry holders that are relatively large. This imposes a significant space constraint that can reduce the number of samples analyzed. By developing ...

Materials are made of tiny crystallites and non-crystallites; the former gives distinct patterns on interaction with X-rays, as the X-ray wavelength is identical to the inter-atomic spacing in ...

Physiochemical properties such as solubility and dissolution rate play a crucial role when it comes to the therapeutic efficacy of oral drug formulations. According to the Biopharmaceutical ...

Determining the precise structure of a crystalline solid is a challenging endeavor. Materials properties such as ion conduction and chemical stability, are heavily influenced by the chemical ...
