X-ray spectroscopy delivers strong impact across the physical and biological sciences by providing end users with highly detailed information about the electronic and geometric structure of matter. To decode this information in challenging cases, e.g., in operando catalysts, batteries, and temporally evolving systems , advanced theoretical calculations are necessary. The complexity and resource requirements often […]

Extraterrestrial materials such as meteorites and interplanetary dust particles are often very complex and non-uniform, with diverse species within a small sample. In some cases, especially for the products of sample-return missions, the available samples are small and precious. X-ray micro- and nano-spectroscopy are ideal complements to other methods such as TEM and nano-SIMS. In […]
