Patterned X-rays map 3D chemical structures faster with fewer measurements

Seeing inside an object is one thing; seeing exactly what it is made of, in three dimensions, is far more difficult.

Seeing inside an object is one thing; seeing exactly what it is made of, in three dimensions, is far more difficult. Now, researchers at Bar-Ilan University and collaborating institutions have developed a new X-ray imaging technique that can map the three-dimensional chemical composition of an object 43 times faster than conventional approaches, while using more than 97% less measurement data.
