Scientists have successfully completed a series of commissioning experiments to solve their very first protein structure on a ...

Do not exceed 10 mA of current! The electron diffraction tube is fragile. Handle with care. Turn down the high voltage when not in use. It is worthwhile to contrast the diffraction of electrons with ...

The intermediate range order of covalent glasses has been extensively studied in terms of the first sharp diffraction peak (FSDP), but the direct observation of the atomic density fluctuations that ...

Scientists reveal for the first time the atomic structure of liquid carbon, key to exoplanets and nuclear fusion.

The microchips that power our phones, computers, and countless other devices look perfectly uniform on the outside, but on ...

Mount the laser and diffraction plate on opposite ends of the rail, making sure the laser is pointed away from people. Plug in the laser and aim it at the desired pattern, maximizing the intensity of ...

Scientists have observed “bending” atoms using a crystal grating—an experiment once believed impossible at the high energies required. The authors of a new, non-peer reviewed study detail how the a ...

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. Whether sedimentary rocks store ...
