TL;DR: Dioptas is a Python-based program for on-the-fly data processing and exploration of two-dimensional X-ray diffraction area detector data, specifically designed for the large amount of data collected at XRD beamlines at synchrotrons.

TL;DR: The discovery of this important phase as a mineral in the Tenham L6 chondrite and approved by the International Mineralogical Association is reported, putting to rest a confusing nomenclature of this dense deep mantle silicate.

TL;DR: MossA as mentioned in this paper provides a straightforward approach to the fitting of 57Fe conventional and synchrotron energy-domain Mossbauer spectra, where sites can be defined simply by mouse clicks and hyperfine parameters can be constrained to constant values, within specific ranges, and can be coupled linearly between different subspectra.

TL;DR: Using a high-pressure and high-temperature technique, optically transparent microballs of bulk nanocrystalline diamond are synthesized, which were found to have an exceptional yield strength and are promising in the field of x-ray optical applications.

TL;DR: Powder X-ray diffraction measurements onallic osmium are reported at multi-megabar pressures using both conventional and double-stage diamond anvil cells, with accurate pressure determination ensured by first obtaining self-consistent equations of state of gold, platinum, and tungsten in static experiments up to 500 gigapascals.
