X-ray tomography carried out on simulated rock and metal samples could get deep beneath the surface in helping Stanford scientists to understand the way in which iron percolates into the Earth's mantle and how droplets of iron merge under such conditions to form interconnected networks of material.

Wavelength-dispersive X-ray fluorescence spectrometry was used to measure the concentrations of 19 elements in three types of sponges collected from Lake Baikal.

The 1962 book, Fifty Years of X-Ray Diffraction, dedicated to the International Union of Crystallography on the occasion of the commemoration meeting in Munich, July 1962, by P.P. Ewald (editor), and numerous crystallographers has been digitized and put on the web as a free site by the ICU.

In this article, the late Ron Jenkins, formerly of the International Center for Diffraction Data provides a brief but comprehensive overview of modern X-ray techniques.
