Small-angle scattering publications. Over the past 20 years SAS has arisen as a mainstay technique for investigators in several fields, including materials science and structural biology. The figure shows the number of publications that have applied SAS to macromolecules in PubMed (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/) by year. While the total number of publications employing this technique has grown considerably over the past two decades to 1–2 publications per day, most of this growth was realized using X-rays (SAXS); small-angle neutron scattering (SANS) has not grown commensurately, averaging closer to only 1–2 publications per week. |
