This article reports non-destructive 3D texture mapping of a wide range of polycrystalline materials using synchrotron X-rays and utilizing the sparsity of the reconstructed texture.

A far-field laboratory diffraction contrast tomography (FF-LabDCT) technique is established and verified using conventional near-field LabDCT. Future directions to enhance FF-LabDCT as a versatile tool are outlined.

The present work provides a simple method to obtain the chemical unit of a solid-solution alloy directly using Cowley's short-range-order parameters α₁ and α₂.

Flexible segments of protein molecules, while known to be present in a structure, are often not visible in the electron density and are thus omitted in models. Ensemble refinement of completed models allows for visualization and exploration of the available conformation space of such `invisible' regions. Combined with the analysis of different crystal forms, insights into functional aspects of molecular plasticity can be inferred.

This article presents an application of X-ray photon correlation spectroscopy (XPCS) to probe the out-of-equilibrium dynamics in a driven colloidal system. XPCS enables the investigation of direction-dependent non-equilibrium dynamics and the gradual return of the suspension to equilibrium Brownian behaviour. The influence of such transient non-equilibrium dynamics needs to be taken into consideration when dynamic scattering methods are used for micrometre-range particle sizing.

A pioneering vertical-geometry small-angle X-ray scattering setup is available at beamline 14, Very Small Angle Neutron Scattering Instrument, at the China Spallation Neutron Source. Small-angle X-ray and neutron scattering can thus be performed at the same time.

We present SAStutorials.org, a website that hosts online tutorials for small-angle scattering data analysis through active learning.

A scalable forward model is developed to calculate virtual dark-field X-ray microscopy (DFXM) images of complex dislocation structures predicted by atomistic simulations, demonstrating the potential of DFXM to resolve features from dislocation multiplication and microstructural evolution.

Here, a formalism to relate dark-field X-ray microscopy images to quantitative measurements of coherent and incoherent phonon populations in bulk single crystals is described.

Here, a rigorous solution to the problem of neutron wave interaction with a periodic potential structure by the Fourier modal method is presented.

Microcrystal electron diffraction (microED) was used to determine the crystal structure of a recently synthesized metal–organic framework (MOF) from powder crystallites. The structural descriptions of two other MOFs by microED are compared with results previously published using X-ray powder diffraction supported by density functional theory calculations.
