Scientists at the Paul Scherrer Institute PSI have, for the first time, demonstrated a technique that synchronizes ultrashort X-ray pulses at the X-ray free-electron laser SwissFEL. This achievement ...

Scientists at the Paul Scherrer Institute PSI have refined an X-ray diffraction technique for detecting biological structures ...

ASU is home to researchers at the forefront of material science, pushing boundaries with innovative techniques. These methods are not only advancing the understanding of matter but also driving the ...

Scientists at PSI refined an X-ray diffraction technique that maps bone structure from nanometres to millimetres in about an ...

Like a tiny needle in a sprawling hayfield, a single crystal grain measuring just tens of millionths of a meter - found in a borehole sample drilled in Central Siberia - had an unexpected chemical ...

X‐ray imaging and microscopy techniques have undergone substantial evolution over recent decades, providing unparalleled access to the internal structure of materials and biological samples with ...

With a novel approach to X-ray spectroscopy, researchers are now able to capture detailed, ultrafast snapshots of electron interactions. The technique, called stochastic Stimulated X-ray Raman ...

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, ...

Perovskites have been hailed as something of a ‘wonder material’ for photovoltaic devices. This is in part due to perovskite-based devices managing to achieve efficiencies for solar energy conversion ...

Generally, X-rays are used to examine bones, while MRI and ultrasound are used to look at softer tissues. But an emerging method is adapting X-ray to image soft tissue, so that its higher resolution ...
