Researchers have developed a new X-ray technique called XL-DOT that visualizes crystal grains, grain boundaries, and defects in materials, enabling previously inaccessible insights into functional materials. The technique uses polarized X-rays to probe the orientation of structural domains in three dimensions.
The microstructural features of polymer-bonded explosives (PBXs) significantly impact their macroscopic properties. Scattering techniques using large neutron and X-ray scientific facilities can quantify the hierarchical structures and components of PBXs.
Researchers discover chemical injection strengthens sandy soil through increased cohesion and internal friction angle, with no long-term strength loss. The treatment also enhances water-sealing capacity, mitigating flood risks and improving infrastructure durability.
Researchers at Paul Scherrer Institute have improved a method for small angle X-ray scattering to investigate fibre orientation in composites, enabling faster analysis with conventional X-ray tubes. This innovation has potential applications in medicine and security.
