An invaluable tool for analyzing liposomes is Small-Angle X-ray Scattering (SAXS). Liposomes, a class of nanoparticles, have a phospholipid bilayer wall by which they are characterized. They are ...

Small-angle scattering techniques, including SAXS and SANS, have become indispensable tools for characterising the overall shapes and conformational dynamics of macromolecules in solution. By ...

Grinding steel and cutting pipes are often done in cramped quarters. The new Dewalt small angle grinders make navigating these areas much easier. Gear-obsessed editors choose every product we review.

Size distributions of nanoparticles which are utilized for process monitoring or quality assessment have been established in a number of forms. Nanoparticles are being created at a growing rate and ...

What is Small-Angle Neutron Scattering (SANS)? Small-Angle Neutron Scattering (SANS) is a powerful analytical technique used to characterize the structure and properties of materials at the nanoscale.

Schematic of a grazing incidence small and wide angle X-ray scattering (GISAXS/GIWAXS) experimental setup showing the incident (αi) and the scattered angles along the horizontal (2θf) and vertical (αf ...

Exactly a year ago, researchers at MIT reported on observing superconductivity in twisted bilayer graphene – a new experimental platform engineered on two misaligned graphene layers – at “magic angles ...

Wide-field telescopes and eyepieces are best for viewing large nebulae. Dark skies and high altitudes improve visibility. Planning your observations, including target selection and timing, is crucial.

Small angle X-ray scattering, or SAXS, is an experimental method where the intensity of the scattered X-rays is measured as a function of the scattering angle. The information obtained in a SAXS ...

The author describes the development of small-angle X-ray scattering and analyzes its advantages in the characterization of drug-delivery systems and large molecules. This article is part of a special ...
