The atomic structure of solid substances can often be analysed quickly, easily and very precisely using X-rays. However, this requires that crystals of the corresponding substances exist. Chemists are ...

When analysing crystal structure, the combination of electron microscopy and synchrotron radiation – particularly intense X-rays generated using a special technique at a large-scale research facility ...

(Nanowerk News) In addition to their main components, the properties of crystalline and nanoporous materials often depend crucially on guest atoms or ions that are embedded in the tiny pores of their ...
