X-ray @ spectroscopyNOW
The X-ray spectrometry channel covers all aspects of research into techniques using X-ray fluorescence (XRF), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and crystallography used in material science, protein analysis, art and archaeology research, environmental analysis, biotechnology and pharmaceutical analysis.
Monthly Highlight
Last Month's Most Accessed Feature: Diffract and destroy: Fluctuation X-ray scattering
Fluctuation X-ray scattering could help fill the gaps in our knowledge of protein structure thanks to short bursts of radiation allowing data to be obtained from non-crystallisable proteins albeit with the sacrifice of the protein itself.
