Small-angle X-ray scattering

{
  "id": "MLC-T-CHM-010951",
  "term": "Small-angle X-ray scattering",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "A non-destructive analytical technique that probes the structure of materials at the nanoscale by analyzing the elastic scattering of X-rays at very small angles. It provides information about the size, shape, and arrangement of inhomogeneities within a sample, such as nanoparticles, polymers, or biological macromolecules. The scattering pattern is typically measured at angles less than a few degrees.",
