Strain engineering, which involves deliberately stretching or compressing a crystal lattice, is used to boost the speed of electron flow in a device. Even a fraction of percent change in lattice ...

Last November, Quantum Design and NanoMEGAS invited industry and research professionals to learn more about the theoretical and practical applications of Precession Electron Diffraction (PED).

Electron Backscatter Diffraction (EBSD) is a scanning electron microscopy technique that yields spatially resolved crystallographic information by analysing the angular distribution of electrons ...

Electron diffraction is a powerful analytical technique used to study the atomic structure of materials. It involves the interaction of a beam of electrons with a crystalline sample, resulting in a ...

The UK’s first dedicated electron diffraction center is due to open in the Summer of 2023. The new facility will help UK nanoscientists to characterize the "tiniest of crystals", according to Derek ...

Could you start by explaining your background in crystallography and how you began using the Rigaku Synergy-ED system? Fraser: I began my journey into crystallography at the University of Edinburgh in ...

What is Electron Backscatter Diffraction (EBSD)? Electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD), also known as backscatter Kikuchi diffraction (BKD), is a powerful characterization technique used to analyze ...

Back in 2010, crystallographer Tim Gruene heard a scientist from drugmaker Novartis say something that stuck with him. The pharmaceutical giant had amassed a collection of around 2 million small ...
