SAXS (Small Angle X-ray Scattering)

Small-Angle X-ray Scattering (SAXS) is a scientific technique used to study the structure of materials at the nanoscale. By directing X-rays at a sample and measuring how they scatter at small angles, researchers can gain insights into the size, shape, and arrangement of tiny particles or molecules within that sample. SAXS is particularly valuable for examining complex biological systems, like proteins and polymers, and helps scientists understand their properties and behaviors, which is crucial in fields such as materials science, biology, and nanotechnology.
