For pharmaceuticals, knowing the chemical composition is not enough - molecular geometry and crystal structure also play an important role in a drug's activity. By using a method based on electron ...
(Nanowerk News) Metal-Organic Frameworks (MOFs) are porous crystalline materials whose structure resembles a scaffold of beams around a large empty space; this internal space can be used to store ...
How do organic solar cells work on the inside? The answer lies in structures far too small to see—and difficult to access even with advanced techniques. So far, researchers have relied mainly on X-ray ...
“The method of high-energy electron diffraction makes it possible to combine the advantages of electron diffraction – such as significantly reduced radiation damage effects and improved visibility of ...
“Reactive Noble-Gas Compounds Explored by 3D Electron Diffraction: XeF 2 −MnF 4 Adducts and a Facile Sample Handling Procedure” Since Bartlett’s discovery, which is commemorated with an International ...
Overlaid structures of rhodamine-6G determined by an x-ray free electron laser (XFEL) and 3D electron diffraction (3D ED). The green and yellow bubbles represent hydrogen atoms resolved by XFEL and 3D ...
Noble gases have a reputation for being unreactive, inert elements, but more than 60 years ago Neil Bartlett demonstrated the first way to bond xenon. He created XePtF 6, an orange-yellow solid.
