Special X-Ray Technique Allows Scientists To See 3D Deformations, Argonne National Laboratory Study

cta While doctors use X-rays to see the broken bones inside our bodies, scientists have developed a new X-ray technique to see inside continuously packed nanoparticles, also known as grains, to examine deformations and dislocations that affect their properties.

In a new study published last Friday in Science, researchers at the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Argonne National Laboratory used an X-ray scattering technique called Bragg coherent diffraction imaging to reconstruct in 3-D the size and shape of grain defects.
