Three kinds of information from a single X-ray measurement

(Friedrich-Schiller-Universitaet Jena) The way in which electronic devices operate relies on the interaction between various materials. For this reason, researchers need to know exactly how specific chemical elements inside a computer chip or a transistor diode behave, and what happens when these elements bond. Physicists of University Jena, Germany, have now developed an innovative method that enables them to obtain several different types of information simultaneously from the interior of a na
