Electron diffraction methods have emerged as powerful tools for elucidating the atomic structures of a wide range of materials. Among these methods, cryo‐electron microscopy and microcrystal electron ...

(Nanowerk News) Metal-Organic Frameworks (MOFs) are porous crystalline materials whose structure resembles a scaffold of beams around a large empty space; this internal space can be used to store ...

Researchers carry out surface LEED crystallography of antiferromagnetic crystal NiO, providing experimental as well as theoretical insights for applications such as ultrafast spintronics. Spintronics ...

What is Electron Backscatter Diffraction (EBSD)? Electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD), also known as backscatter Kikuchi diffraction (BKD), is a powerful characterization technique used to analyze ...

Researchers from the labs of Professors Vinayak Dravid and Omar Farha developed a high-resolution approach to map ...

For a crystal-clear view of cutting-edge science, step into Brandon Mercado’s lab in the basement of Kline Chemistry Laboratory. But there’s a new kid in town. CBIC’s Structural Science Facility now ...

Charge density waves (CDWs) are ordered, crystal-like patterns in the arrangement of electrons that spontaneously form inside ...

CHAMPAIGN, Ill. — A new imaging technique that uses electron diffraction waves to improve both image resolution and sensitivity to small structures has been developed by scientists at the University ...

For the first time, researchers from Tokyo University of Science have observed wave-like interference patterns from ...

Antiferromagnetic (AF) crystals like NiO are experiencing a renaissance as promising materials for ultrafast spintronics. To re-establish old experimental results of surface property investigations ...

For the first time, physicists have watched a beam of positronium, a short‑lived atom made of an electron and its antimatter twin, behave like a rippling quantum wave instead of a stream of tiny ...
