A University of Michigan team, led by Professor Ashley Bucsek, has developed a powerful new tool that brings advanced imaging into everyday research labs. About the size of a closet, the Lab-3DXRD uses X-rays to peer inside materials like metals, ceramics, and rocks—something that once required a trip to a national facility. Now, students and researchers can study how materials respond to stress right on campus, speeding up experiments and deepening learning. Curious how this device could make a big impact? Read on.
