Single-crystal diffraction was invented 100 years ago by Max von Laue. It has since become a workhorse technique for chemists to determine the structures of organometallic complexes and other ...

CRYSTALS of sphalerite were heated in air until covered by a thin film showing interference colours. These crystals were photographed in an electron diffraction camera, which will be described ...

For scientists and engineers, the best way to understand a new or unknown material--whether it's an alloy, a pharmaceutical or a meteorite--is to delve into its atoms. Techniques such as X-ray ...

Because of their unique properties, single-crystal materials often play an important role in creating novel products such as lasers and turbine blades. Single crystals are particularly interesting to ...

A new centre based jointly at the University of Southampton and the University of Warwick will draw on expertise from two world class universities and become a game changer for chemical industries, ...
