Single-crystal X-ray diffraction (SC-XRD) is often referred to as the gold standard of sample characterisation, offering three-dimensional structure of both molecules and their crystalline packing, ...
Ultrafast electron microscopy (UEM) and ultrafast electron diffraction (UED) employ extremely short electron pulses—ranging from picoseconds down to a few femtoseconds—to image and diffract samples ...
ELDICO Scientific AG, a technology company dedicated to advancing electron diffraction for structural analysis, today ...
In geology, electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD) is a powerful tool for the observation and analysis of microstructures and for phase identification. The EBSD system, by Oxford Instruments, ...
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 ...
An instrument that uses high-energy electrons to take "snapshots" of ultrafast chemical processes at the atomic and molecular level just got a major upgrade. Researchers have conducted the first ...
What is Electron Backscatter Diffraction (EBSD)? Electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD), also known as backscatter Kikuchi diffraction (BKD), is a powerful characterization technique used to analyze ...
Researchers have achieved real-time capture of the ionization process and subsequent structural changes in gas-phase molecules through an enhanced mega-electronvolt ultrafast electron diffraction (MeV ...
Using SLAC's instrument for ultrafast electron diffraction (MeV-UED), one of the lab's world-leading tools for ultrafast science, researchers discovered how an ultrathin material can circularly ...
How do organic solar cells work on the inside? The answer lies in structures far too small to see—and difficult to access even with advanced techniques. So far, researchers have relied mainly on X-ray ...
Beam-sensitive zeolites are difficult to study at high resolution because traditional electron microscopy often damages or destroys their delicate crystal structures before meaningful data can be ...
