Ultrafast single-shot diffraction imaging of nanoscale dynamics

Figure 1: X-ray dynamic diffraction imaging. X-rays diffracted from the sample were detected on a soft X-ray charge-coupled device (CCD) camera. The angular acceptance of the CCD was 15° at the ...

Doing crystal diffraction without the crystals

The (relatively) ancient art of crystallography has had a huge impact on modern science by showing us the location of atoms within a molecule. The structure of DNA (and how it acts as an information ...
