Scientists have unveiled a new way to capture ultra-sharp optical images without lenses or painstaking alignment. The ...

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. This technique works best when the ...

Dr. Akhilesh Tripathi has spent over two decades teaching X-ray diffraction (XRD) and training users of Rigaku's MiniFlex benchtop XRD system. In this conversation, he shares how benchtop XRD ...

Ptychography is an area-by-area scanning method that uses constant, coherent illumination to scan a region of a sample in several adjacent and overlapping locations. The dispersed radiation is ...

XRD works by directing X-rays onto a crystalline material and analyzing the angles and intensities of the diffracted beams. The atomic planes within the crystal act as a three-dimensional grating, ...
