Researchers have combined various x-ray imaging technologies to create multi-contrast images that can be used to detect threatening materials such as explosives in thousands of complicated scenarios.

The Klystron Gallery, a concrete hallway studded with evenly spaced metal cylinders, is long enough to extend past my line of sight. But as I stand inside it, I know that something even more ...

X-ray technology is moving into the mainstream of chip manufacturing as complex assemblies and advanced packaging make it increasingly difficult to ensure these devices will work as expected ...

Diagram of an X-ray Reflectometry (XRR) setup: This schematic shows the arrangement of the X-ray tube, Gӧbel mirror, sample holder, and detector. The X-rays are emitted from the tube, shaped by slits ...

X-ray tomography is a powerful tool that enables scientists and engineers to peer inside of objects in 3D, including computer ...

X-ray crystallography, like mass spectroscopy and nuclear spectroscopy, is an extremely useful material characterization technique that is unfortunately hard for amateurs to perform. The physical ...

What are X-Ray Free-Electron Lasers? X-ray free-electron lasers (XFELs) are a revolutionary type of X-ray source that produce ultra-short, highly intense pulses of X-rays. Unlike conventional X-ray ...

CLEVELAND, Ohio — NASA Glenn Research Center in Cleveland is spearheading a collaborative effort to find and test a portable X-ray device suitable for space travel, addressing a critical gap in ...

CLEVELAND, Ohio — If an International Space Station astronaut breaks her leg, there’s no ambulance service to the nearest X-ray machine more than 200 miles away on Earth. NASA Glenn Research Center in ...
