New research from Sun is uncovering new insights in metallic dislocations. In the study, Sun combined synchrotron X-ray diffraction with neutron diffraction, multi-physics simulation, and electron ...

There is also likely a forest of binary black holes, neutron stars, and white dwarfs. All of these emit gravitational waves as they gradually ... Astronomers have employed the Nuclear ...

The prevailing scientific view is that neutron star collisions created gold and other heavy elements, but one study has now pointed to another tantalizing theory behind the metals’ formation.

Neutron stars are some of the weirdest cosmic objects, and the greatest mysteries lie deep in their hearts. Neutron stars' surface gravities are so intense that the largest "mountains" are only a ...

Protein crystals used in X-ray crystallography to determine protein structure (representative image). For more than a century, scientists have relied on crystallography—analyzing X-ray ...

"The algorithm used its knowledge of thousands of unrelated structures to augment the diffraction data." To apply the technique to crystallography, the scientists began with a dataset of 40,000 ...

The synchrotron community has already found a lot of success in automating macromolecular X-ray crystallography (MX ... lead beamline scientist at the upcoming High Resolution Powder Diffraction (HRD) ...

improving commonly used imaging techniques such as neutron scattering and neutron diffraction. One of the most tantalizing possibilities, Huber says, would be to find ways to combine a neutron Airy ...

Comparison of three water sites captured under various conditions demonstrates the power of cryo-neutron crystallography. Associated water molecules W1 (left), W6 (center), and W75 (right), were ...

In 2001, Léonard et al., using 14:0 phosphatidylcholine (PC) multibilayer stacks and deuterated or protiated cholesterol, carried out neutron diffraction studies on aligned multibilayers that showed ...
