Recent advancements at hard XFELs promise a breakthrough in overcoming the radiation damage problem and in enabling crystallographic data collection on those microcrystals that are, in general ...

Feig and her team from the Department of Mechanical Engineering at Stanford University developed the Self-Aggregating ...

Synthesis and characterization of UHG hierarchical hybrid ZJU-68 microcrystals. (a) Schematic of the synthesis of UHG hierarchical dye-assembled hybrid ZJU-68 microcrystals.

Microcrystals take the form of tiny grains, so small that they resemble a powder. How can we determine their structure? For the first time, researchers have used X-ray diffraction to determine the ...

Microcrystals take the form of tiny grains resembling powder, which is extremely difficult to study. For the first time, researchers from the European Synchrotron Radiation Facility (ESRF ...

This dust includes some unusually shaped microcrystals of carbon. A study of the morphology and simulations of the formation of these crystals by a consortium led by Sergey Taskaev and Vladimir ...

A project that began as a Gates Foundation-funded effort to expand contraceptive options, particularly in developing nations, has led to the development of a new method to deliver certain drugs in ...

Melted and then cooled, sulfur forms a canyon of microcrystals. Peter Woitschikowski can spend weeks searching his slides for the perfect image. Woitschikowski works only when he’s relaxed.

The microcrystals absorb sunlight. To complete the solar cell these microcrystals are coated with a buffer and window layers. In this way, each crystal works as a small individual solar cell and ...

Mass General Brigham and MIT have developed a contraceptive implant that can be delivered through tiny needles, minimizing discomfort. The implant uses self-assembling microcrystals to release the ...
