Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc., the world leader in serving science, today introduced the Thermo Scientific™ EMPAD™ G2 detector, a new detector designed to help researchers see and understand materials ...

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 ...

Ultrafast electron microscopy (UEM) and ultrafast electron diffraction (UED) employ extremely short electron pulses—ranging from picoseconds down to a few femtoseconds—to image and diffract samples ...

What is Electron Backscatter Diffraction (EBSD)? Electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD), also known as backscatter Kikuchi diffraction (BKD), is a powerful characterization technique used to analyze ...

Electrons oscillate around the nucleus of an atom on extremely short timescales, typically completing a cycle in just a few hundred attoseconds. Because of their ultrafast motions, directly observing ...

Researchers from Tsinghua University have developed a new angle-resolved analysis method for ultrafast liquid electron diffraction, offering a route to retrieve more complete three-dimensional ...

The high sensitivity of the reflection electron microscopy (REM) technique to small changes in the crystal structure and composition of the top surface layers of various crystalline materials makes it ...

This article has been updated in January 2024. High resolution images of microscopic samples can be obtained experimentally using Scanning Electron Transmission Microscopy (STEM). It is an effective ...

Using electron beam diffraction analysis with advanced TEM, the research visually confirmed the stress formed at the electrolyte interface. Additionally, density functional theory (DFT) was used to ...

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 ...
