  • It described a then-recent Antarctic balloon flight that had mapped the small-angle temperature variations of the cosmic background radiation (CBR) and discussed the implications of these measurements for the flatness and structure of the universe.

  • As these small-angle detectors of CMB scan over the sky, they map the power of the CMB at a very small angular scale, where the "ringing" of the early Universe shows up and provides very tight constraints on the various numerical constants that characterize our universe.

  • Health and The University of Chicago have combined simultaneous small-angle and wide-angle x-ray scattering (SAXS and WAXS) with an ultrafast laser to observe the dynamics of a protein in solution with 100-picosecond time resolution and 2. 5-Angstrom spatial resolution.

  • "The complementary methods of the X-ray crystallography, small-angle X-ray scattering, and centrifugation gave us a whole picture of the structure of the enzyme," Tanner said.
