Modern X-ray optics paired with synchrotron light sources have changed the landscape, with Fresnel zone plates and Kirkpatrick-Baez mirror pairs producing small (7 nm in diameter at 20 keV; ref ...

Their technique is known as X-ray linear dichroic orientation tomography, or XL-DOT for short. XL-DOT uses polarized X-rays from the Swiss Light Source SLS, to probe how materials absorb X-rays ...

A pioneering X-ray technique that can analyse artefacts of any shape or texture in a non-destructive way has been developed by an international team of researchers led by the University of Leicester.

A new x-ray technique that works alongside a deep-learning algorithm to detect explosives in luggage could eventually catch potentially deadly tumors in humans. Concealing explosives inside ...
