Thin films, big science: Chemists expand imaging possibilities with new X-ray material

Most people picture a doctor checking for a broken bone when they think of an X-ray. But the technology is just as important in places like airport security, manufacturing, quality control and scientific research, each with its own criteria for size and shape.

FSU Chemists Pioneer Advanced X-Ray Material, Revolutionizing Thin Film

In the rapidly evolving world of X-ray technology, a groundbreaking development by a research team led by Florida State University’s Professor of Chemistry and Biochemistry Biwu Ma promises to revolutionize how X-ray detectors are designed and fabricated. Traditionally, X-ray detection relied heavily on single-crystal materials, which—although highly effective—pose significant challenges in terms of scalability, size, […]

Thin Films, Big Science: FSU Chemists Expand Imaging Possibilities with New X-Ray Material

A team led by Florida State University Professor of Chemistry and Biochemistry Biwu Ma has developed a new form for X-ray materials that can meet the needs of large-area applications, changing out complex crystal structures for an adaptable and scalable thin-film detector.
