X-rays advance understanding of Earth’s core-mantle boundary and super-Earth magma oceans
Schematic diagram of the experimental setup available at the MEC end station. Four epiX 10k detectors cover the Q range from 15 to 106 nm-1 with an X-ray beam energy of 17 keV. The complete signal can be reconstructed by stitching together the diffuse scattering recorded by each detector. Credit: Nature Communications (2024).

Waterless manufacturing approach could help advance integration of 2D electronics
These materials are made from molybdenum disulfide, a two-dimensional semiconductor, grown on the surface of sapphire. The triangles align because a specialized process called epitaxy allows the material to grow in a pattern that follows the surface it’s grown on. Insulating layers, such as amorphous boron nitride, are added during the manufacturing process of these ultra-thin materials that will be…
