Silicon and carbon in iron may explain the onion-like layering of Earth’s inner core

Earth’s inner core has long puzzled scientists because seismic waves move through it unevenly. Compressional waves from earthquakes travel about 3 to 4 percent faster along the planet’s rotation axis ...

Higher intensity x-ray beams don't always give stronger diffraction patterns

(Nanowerk News) Turning up the intensity of x-ray beams used to probe the atomic structures of materials can actually reduce the intensity of x-rays scattered from the material, a RIKEN-led team has ...
