But it always amazes me how you can get so much information from something so tiny.’ Today, Hatcher’s work primarily focuses ...

Traditionally, X-ray methods require at least 10,000 atoms to generate a detectable signal. This is because the X-ray signal ...

A new study published in Planet reveals a Micro-XRD method to quantitatively measure the ancient collision histories of meteorites. Researchers from ...

A groundbreaking study published in Nature Communications offers new insights into Earth’s inner core, potentially solving ...

A pulse of light sets the tempo in the material. Atoms in a crystalline sheet just a few atoms thick begin to move—not randomly, but in a coordinated rhythm, twisting and untwisting in sync like ...

Reading brain activity with advanced technologies is not a new concept. However, most techniques have focused on identifying single words associated with an object or action a person is seeing or ...

MANY COUPLES struggle to conceive. Some are helped by IVF (in-vitro fertilisation). But if the woman has no usable eggs to fertilise, they must either give up or use a donor. Researchers have thus ...

Forward-looking: MIT scientists seeking breakthroughs in nuclear materials have made an unexpected discovery with major implications for microelectronics: they found they could use an X-ray beam not ...

(a) Working principle of metasurface displacement measurement can be understood as the detection of the power of different modes of the converted light. The incident irradiated on the metasurface and ...

Understanding how rocks break in the brittle upper crust is critical for predicting earthquakes, managing reservoirs, and modeling subsurface mechanics. In JGR: Solid Earth, two new studies by Jacob ...

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 ...

The toughness, ductility, and wear resistance of metallic alloys are dictated by the phases present in their microstructure and how these phases are distributed. During heat treatments such as ...
