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, ...

Polymers such as polypropylene are fundamental materials in the modern world, found in everything from computers to cars. Because of their ubiquity, it's vital that materials scientists know exactly ...

Dr. Akhilesh Tripathi has spent over two decades teaching X-ray diffraction (XRD) and training users of Rigaku's MiniFlex benchtop XRD system. In this conversation, he shares how benchtop XRD ...

A major challenge in materials science is the determination of the structure of nanometre-sized objects. Here we present an approach that uses a generative machine learning model based on diffusion ...

X-ray diffraction (XRD) is a powerful method for determining a material’s crystal structure in high-throughput experimentation, and is widely being incorporated in artificially intelligent agents for ...
