In 2022, a study revealed that about 800 papers published in crystallography and exotic-chemistry journals originated from a paper mill. At the time, popular scientific sleuth David Bimler noted in ...

Virtual apertures let researchers isolate and solve atomic structures from individual nanocrystals embedded in dense clusters, providing valuable new data for energy and pharmaceutical applications.

What is X-Ray Crystallography? X-ray crystallography is a powerful analytical technique used to determine the atomic and molecular structure of crystalline materials. It involves directing a beam of X ...

The study of crystal structures provides crucial insights into the arrangement of atoms and molecules, directly influencing the physical, chemical and biological properties of materials. Advanced ...

For more than 100 years, scientists have been using X-ray crystallography to determine the structure of crystalline materials such as metals, rocks, and ceramics. This technique works best when the ...

Researchers at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory have developed a 4D-STEM workflow that can isolate and solve atomic structures from individual nanocrystals buried inside dense, tangled clusters, ...

A research team from the Institute of Statistical Mathematics and Panasonic Holdings Corporation has developed a machine learning algorithm, ShotgunCSP, that enables fast and accurate prediction of ...

Every crystal's shape is a mirror of the internal arrangement of its molecules, but the molecules in photoswitchable crystals can expand, twist and change properties—from their color to their ...

Political activist and Nobel winner Dorothy Crowfoot Hodgkin pioneered X-ray crystallography to discover the molecular structures of penicillin and insulin. Despite Hodgkin’s academic aptitude, her ...
