One of the discoveries that fundamentally distinguished the emerging field of quantum physics from classical physics was the ...

ABSTRACT: Hygroscopic compounds are considered to be an analytical challenge in the field of materials characterization using X-ray diffraction (XRD). These compounds absorb moisture from the ...

Back in 2010, crystallographer Tim Gruene heard a scientist from drugmaker Novartis say something that stuck with him. The pharmaceutical giant had amassed a collection of around 2 million small ...

Could you start by explaining your background in crystallography and how you began using the Rigaku Synergy-ED system? Fraser: I began my journey into crystallography at the University of Edinburgh in ...

Portland cement (PC) production is among the industrial activities that most emit harmful gases. Its replacement to green binders turns into a timely issue to face the global restrictions due to ...

Materials are made of tiny crystallites and non-crystallites; the former gives distinct patterns on interaction with X-rays, as the X-ray wavelength is identical to the inter-atomic spacing in ...

Everybody loves a goofy genius—whose elementary school didn’t feature that poster of Albert Einstein with his tongue sticking out? So it shouldn’t be any wonder that the mad scientist has fascinated ...

Researchers at Harvard University and Jiangsu University developed a technique for not only identifying infected cells, but also tracking the infection over time as the cells developed. They published ...

Physiochemical properties such as solubility and dissolution rate play a crucial role when it comes to the therapeutic efficacy of oral drug formulations. According to the Biopharmaceutical ...

Structural characterization is crucial to understanding protein function. Compared with X-ray diffraction methods, electron crystallography can be performed on nanometer-sized crystals and can provide ...
