Could you start by explaining your background in crystallography and how you began using the Rigaku Synergy-ED system? Fraser: I began my journey into crystallography at the University of Edinburgh in ...

X-ray crystallography produces good results for crystals that are large, stable, and homogeneous -- that is, with no impurities or structural defects. To better detect a weak diffraction signal, a ...

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 ...

Researchers are responsible for making their own macromolecules in milligram quantities and in highly purified form. The core staff will assist with handling of macromolecules for structure analysis.

Inside the Findings That Shaped Materials Science takes a closer look at some of those turning points - the ideas, lab ...

In 1912, scientists invented X-ray crystallography and revealed a crystal’s atomic structure for the first time Tess Joosse Humans have marveled at crystals for millennia. Viridescent emerald, rich ...

X-ray diffraction (XRD) is a powerful non-destructive analytical technique used to evaluate crystalline materials and determine their structural properties. As one of the most widely used ...

Curbing the COVID-19 pandemic will rely on vaccines. But, they will take time to develop, test and manufacture, and distribute. Some researchers, given the urgent and immediate need for tools to help ...

Duplicates of crystal structures are flooding databases, implicating repositories hosting organic, inorganic, and computer-generated crystals. The issue raises questions about curation practices at ...
