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.
Journal Highlight: Determination of elemental composition of Lake Baikal sponges by wavelength dispersive X-ray fluorescence spectrometry
spectroscopyNOW
Oct 7, 2013
Wavelength-dispersive X-ray fluorescence spectrometry was used to measure the concentrations of 19 elements in three types of sponges collected from Lake Baikal.
X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy has been used by Cambridge scientists to follow the interaction of metals involved in fertilising the growth of carbon nanotube forests. The insights it offers could open up a new approach to boosting forest density and lead to novel electronic systems.
