X-rays are frequently used to determine the chemical composition of materials thanks to the characteristic “fingerprint” of fluorescence that different substances emit when exposed to X-ray light. At ...

A team of researchers recently studied paintings in the Theban Necropolis near the Nile River using X-ray fluorescence imaging and discovered never-before-seen details of the painting process.

Scientists use a multimodal approach that combines hard X-ray computed tomography and X-ray fluorescence imaging to see the structure and chemical processes inside of a single cell. Every plant ...

A research team at the University of Göttingen has developed a new method to produce X-ray images in colour. In the past, the only way to determine the chemical composition of a sample and the ...

The team used two imaging techniques found at the National Synchrotron Light Source II (NSLS-II) - a DOE Office of Science user facility at Brookhaven - X-ray computed tomography (XCT) and X-ray ...

The study further employed synchrotron X-ray fluorescence imaging to visualize the distribution of iron and zinc within these tissues. This pioneering method enhances our understanding of nodule ...

But a new scan of the portrait suggests otherwise. Using a portable version of X-ray fluorescence imaging (XRF), a technique that uses X-rays to determine the chemical composition of an object ...
