Scientists are harnessing hard X-rays in the fight against cancer. A team of researchers, in conjunction with the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Argonne National Laboratory, has used ultrabright X-ray light to determine how specific types of antibodies can tell the difference between different forms of a cancer-linked molecule.

Overall, particle size can be reliably measured using different methodologies of X-ray diffraction, dependent on the situation.

Mar 04 2021 Read 279 Times The materials to be analysed in the food sector are more diverse in terms of their physical properties and size ranges than in most other industries. Particularly challenging is the fact that many samples are difficult to handle due to oil content, poor flowability, inhomogeneity and water solubility. Microtrac offers innovative solutions for virtually all applications in the food industry with instruments that work either according to the principle of Laser Diffracti...

Posted January 22nd, 2021 for JAMSTEC 1. Overview A research group led by Dr. Naotaka Tomioka, Senior Researcher at the Kochi Institute for Core Sample Research of the Japan Agency for Marine-Earth Science and Technology (KOCHI JAMSTEC) gave the mineral name “poirierite” to a high-pressure phase with the chemical composition of olivine that was found in shocked meteorites. Poirierite has now been officially approved as a new mineral species by the International Mineralogical As...

Biologists reveal unusual structure of coronavirus protein linked to immune evasion A team of HIV researchers, cellular biologists, and biophysicists who banded together to support COVID-19 science determined the atomic structure of a coronavirus protein thought to help the pathogen evade and dampen response from human immune cells. The structural map – which is now published in the journal PNAS, but has been open-access for the scientific community since August – has laid the groundwork fo...

Of it, 24%, was devoted to the mueller probe. no other administration topic received that much attention, not even close. when they do cover another topic, like immigration for instance, it is 92% negative, only 8% positive. and you wonder why people are ticked off. it is not surprising that in a new survey by the research firm, fox news is near the top of the trusted names in news. cnn, down near the bottom. of course, the media may not be great at objectivity, but they are total pros blame dif...

And what the law is in some states. >> and avery, how do you see this when you are trauk about t -- when you are talking about this new poll showing that americans support the ban on bump stocks. >> when the president says to the attorney general, look, i need you to do reser arch on th. and that is a diffraction, because the atf has done the legal research and that legal memorandum concluded that the executive branch cannot regulate. and in fact, in 2013, congress requested a copy of the at atf...
