SAXS, WAXS, Rietveld Refinement, and what they can do for our understanding of chalk

A workshop sponsored by the Nano-Chalk Venture, Nano-Science Center - open to all.

The Nano-Chalk team is an interdisciplinary group of physicists, chemists, molecular biologists, geologists, mineralogists and engineers.  The purpose of the workshop series is to educate ourselves in the background of the various disciplines and to develop a common language so we can communicate. Emphasis is placed on question/answer sessions and discussion.  ALL are welcome!
