Over the course of its long history, powder diffraction has provided countless insights into the properties of materials. It will continue to do so in the future, but with an emphasis on elucidating ...

Experiments were conducted to establish a laser diffraction-based method for the determination of lactose powder particle size. This was accomplished using a Bettersizer 2600 equipped with a fully ...

The authors discuss the valuable information that can be obtained from indexing and its applications in routine screening and analysis of solid forms. Crystal-structure determination using X-ray ...

Specimen mounting in x-ray powder diffraction affects peak positions and intensities. The specimen-mount procedure is one of the many actions an investigator employs that could dramatically affect ...

One longstanding problem has sidelined life-saving drugs, stalled next-generation batteries, and kept archaeologists from identifying the origins of ancient artifacts. For more than 100 years, ...

The new method can determine crystal structures underlying experimental data thus far difficult to analyze. A joint research team led by Yuuki Kubo and Shiji Tsuneyuki of the University of Tokyo has ...

Particle size analysis is crucial to quality control and product development in a number of key industries including aerosols, construction, food and beverage, paint and coatings, and pharmaceuticals.

Various dosage forms such as oral, parenteral, inhalation, topical, ophthalmic and suppository can be used to introduce an API to the patient. Tablets, suspensions and solutions come under oral dosage ...
