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 Diffraction, Dynamic Image Analysis, or both. For materials in the micrometre to millimetre range, dynamic im...

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 Association. Olivine (peridot) is abundantly found not just in the Earth's upper mantle, but also ...
