The detailed structure of glass has always been a mystery in science. A research team has now discovered that the amorphous and crystalline metallic glass have the same structural building blocks ...

XRD produces vital data on the mineralogical structure of a material by examining the diffraction patterns generated from X-Rays interacting with the sample. Utilizing this data, XRD facilitates the ...

Unlike the structures of crystalline materials, which scientists have been able to map in three dimensions since 1910, amorphous solids aren’t assembled in rigid, repetitive atomic units and ...

2D-XRD, or two-dimensional X-ray diffraction, is a powerful analytical technique used to study the atomic and molecular structure of crystalline materials at the nanoscale. It provides detailed ...

In the end, the researchers found that LDA’s crystalline structure was determined based on its source, indicating different structures could come from different sources, like comets or icy moons.
