X-ray fluorescence imaging and computed tomography represent a convergent approach that combines elemental sensitivity with high-resolution anatomical imaging. By utilising characteristic secondary ...

What is Scanning X-Ray Fluorescence (XRF) Microscopy? Scanning X-Ray Fluorescence (XRF) Microscopy is a powerful analytical technique that enables the visualization and quantification of the elemental ...

Flow-assisted corrosion, also termed flow-accelerated corrosion or FAC, has long been a common problem for nuclear and fossil fuel power plants in which steel piping and its components are degraded ...

In this interview, Michael Hull talks about using portable X-ray fluorescence for detecting and quantifying mercury contamination in the field. What are the health and environmental risks associated ...

How can the component elements of an unknown material, such as a meteorite, be determined? X-ray fluorescence analysis can be used to identify an abundance of elements, by irradiating samples with ...

Elemental analysis plays a crucial role in the pharmaceutical industry, allowing scientists to understand a material or compound’s elemental composition. It also provides key information on any ...

A research team has developed a new method to produce X-ray images in color. In the past, the only way to determine the chemical composition of a sample and the position of its components using X-ray ...

Cancer is a universal issue which affects many people around the world. Many will turn to surgery in the hope a surgeon will ...

Successful cancer surgery depends on a surgeon’s ability to remove tumors, while minimizing harm to healthy tissues. Surgeons currently use glowing dyes which mark cancer cells to help differentiate ...
