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 ...

Caption Crystal structure, XRD and Raman of WB6 at 165 GPa.

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 ...

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 ...

Might the ice on distant moons and gliding across interstellar clouds be intrinsically different from the ice in a ground-based freezer? In planetary science and astrochemistry for decades, it had ...

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.

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 ...

Using high precision techniques, such as X-ray diffraction, the researchers unlocked key insights into the composition of Fluoromix and structures of the fluorinating species. The diagram shows ...
