The main mineral component of bone is hydroxyapatite, a commonly nanocrystalline material which presents many challenges for those trying to characterize it. Here, local structure is analyzed using X-ray total scattering for synthetic samples, to ena... Read More about Thermally dynamic examination of local order in nanocrystalline hydroxyapatite.

Breast calcification micromorphology classification (2022)
Journal Article

A multi-modal exploration of heterogeneous physico–chemical properties of DCIS breast microcalcifications (2022)
Journal Article
Gosling, S., Calabrese, D., Nallala, J., Greenwood, C., Pinder, S., King, L., …Stone, N. (2022). A multi-modal exploration of heterogeneous physico–chemical properties of DCIS breast microcalcifications. Analyst, 147(8), 1641-1654. https://doi.org/10.1039/d1an01548f

Ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) is frequently associated with breast calcification. This study combines multiple analytical techniques to investigate the heterogeneity of these calcifications at the micrometre scale. X-ray diffraction, scanning elect...
