Multilayer Laue lens (MLL) is a new class of x-ray optics that offer great promise for
achieving nanometre-level spatial resolution by focusing hard x-rays. Fabricating an MLL via …

Advances in the design of materials for energy storage and conversion (ie,“energy
materials”) increasingly rely on understanding the dependence of a material's performance …

We report multimodal scanning hard x-ray imaging with spatial resolution approaching 10
nm and its application to contemporary studies in the field of material science. The high …

The focusing performance of a multilayer Laue lens (MLL) with 43.4 μm aperture, 4 nm finest
zone width and 4.2 mm focal length at 12 keV was characterized with X-rays using …

Resolving chemical species at the nanoscale is of paramount importance to many scientific
and technological developments across a broad spectrum of disciplines. Hard x-rays with …

Hard X-ray microscopy is a prominent tool suitable for nanoscale-resolution non-destructive
imaging of various materials used in different areas of science and technology. With an …

We demonstrate a technique for measuring the range-resolved coherent scatter form factors
of different objects from a single snapshot. By illuminating the object with an x-ray pencil …

We developed a scanning hard x-ray microscope using a new class of x-ray nano-focusing
optic called a multilayer Laue lens and imaged a chromosome with nanoscale spatial …

X-ray ptychography, a scanning coherent diffractive imaging technique, holds promise for
imaging with dose-limited resolution and sensitivity. If the foreseen increase of coherent flux …

Calcium silicate hydrates (C–S–H) are the most abundant hydration products in ordinary
Portland cement paste. Yet, despite the critical role they play in determining mechanical and …
