The method combines computed tomography (CT) - capable of providing "slices" of the XNUMXD structure (the circles) - together with X-rays that provide an image of the distribution of the particles within the structure (PDFs, visible in the graphs) in order to present the information regarding the nanoscale structure and chemistry ( the different colors) inside the material, pixel by pixel and in XNUMXD [courtesy of Columbia University].
