Andrew Peele works for the Australian Synchrotron on secondment from La Trobe University. He receives funding from the ARC. Nancy Mills works for the Australian Synchrotron. Science is like ...

Synchrotron radiation is very intense, highly collimated and tunable, and can be polarized and pulsed, enabling time-resolved measurements. Synchrotron techniques can therefore be used to probe the ...

X-ray powder diffraction exploits the interaction between x-rays and matter to study the structural and microstructural properties of materials. X-ray powder diffraction (XRPD) is a powerful technique ...

The Smithsonian Institution and Synchrotron Soleil of France announced a new partnership between the organizations to use the power of the third-generation synchrotron to study and preserve priceless ...

Synchrotron radiation sources generate highly brilliant light pulses, ranging from infrared to hard X-rays, which can be used to gain deep insights into complex materials. Using concrete examples, ...

A research team has made a significant breakthrough in cancer radiotherapy by identifying conditions under which carbon ion beams -- delivered at ultra-high dose rates (uHDR) -- can protect normal ...

While synchrotron X-ray beams produce state-of-the-art detail, there are only about 70 facilities worldwide. Research teams must put together project proposals for "beam time." Accepted projects often ...

Traveling at nearly the speed of light, electrons emit intense synchrotron radiation, as explained in this video. Credit: University of Saskatchewan Alexander Moewes is a high-energy physicist.

Single atom X-ray mechanism When X-rays illuminate an atom (red ball at the centre of the molecule), core level electrons are excited. X-ray-excited electrons then tunnel to the detector tip via ...
