Crystallography for the misfit crystals
Advanced algorithms plus an exceptional X-ray laser can reveal the structures of not-so-neat-and-tidy materials unattainable by other techniques
24-Jan-2022 -
Francis Crick, who famously co-discovered the shape of DNA, once said: “If you want to understand function, study structure.” Many decades later, this remains a tenet of biology, chemistry, and materials science.
A key breakthrough in the quest for DNA’s structure came from X-ray crystallography, ...
