XRD works by directing X-rays onto a crystalline material and analyzing the angles and intensities of the diffracted beams. The atomic planes within the crystal act as a three-dimensional grating, ...

When thinking of celebrated technological innovations, it is perhaps rare that we consider the role of material scientists: the unsung heroes of advancement. Nonetheless, it is the great work of these ...

Metallography is the science of using microscopic techniques to examine sections or polished surfaces of metallic materials. It provides information about a metallic component’s composition, ...

Healthy aging induces parallel changes in brain functional activity and structural morphology, yet the interplay between these changes remains unclear. Prof. Yuhui Du’s team at the College of Computer ...

Unlike optical microscopy, SEM does not rely on light waves but instead uses a beam of electrons to interact with materials, enabling magnifications up to 300,000× and resolutions approaching 1 nm. 1 ...
