About
M. C. Domeneghetti is a distinguished researcher in planetary mineralogy and archaeometry, known for pioneering the development of ultra-miniaturised X-ray diffraction (XRD) and X-ray fluorescence (XRF) instruments for in situ analysis. Their most-cited work, a 2015 study on a compact XRD/XRF tool, has garnered 12 citations and laid the groundwork for portable, non-destructive analysis of planetary soils and rocks—a breakthrough with profound implications for space exploration and archaeological science. Domeneghetti’s contributions bridge geochemistry and instrumentation, enabling real-time mineralogical and chemical characterization in extreme environments, from Martian surfaces to terrestrial cultural heritage sites. By miniaturising laboratory-grade techniques, they have expanded access to high-precision analysis, empowering researchers to study fragile artifacts or extraterrestrial samples without sample destruction. Their work underscores a commitment to interdisciplinary innovation, merging planetary science with archaeometry to unlock insights into Earth’s past and beyond. Domeneghetti’s legacy lies in transforming how we explore and preserve our material world—one tiny, powerful instrument at a time.
