Press release: Full 3-D image of nanocrystals' interior created by shining X-rays through them

7 July 2006

A vital step towards the ultimate goal of being able to take 'photographs' of individual molecules in action has been achieved by an international team led by ¹û¶³Ó°Ôº researchers at the London Centre for Nanotechnology.

They report in the journal 'Nature' on a novel method of obtaining a full 3-D image of the interior of nanocrystals. Using a process known as coherent X-ray diffraction imaging, they were able to build a picture of the inside of nanocrystals by measuring and inverting diffraction patterns.
