Complex fluids, such as polymer melts and concentrated suspensions, are foundational materials for industrial products, ...

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 ...

(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 ...

A new method for analysing stress, which has been applied to the world’s most famous marble statue, Michelangelo's David, revealed stress around the leg area sculpted between 1501 to 1504.

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 ...
