For pharmaceuticals, knowing the chemical composition is not enough - molecular geometry and crystal structure also play an important role in a drug's activity. By using a method based on electron ...

Electron diffraction methods have emerged as powerful tools for elucidating the atomic structures of a wide range of materials. Among these methods, cryo‐electron microscopy and microcrystal electron ...

Crystallography is the science of analyzing the pattern produced by shining an X-ray beam through a material sample. A powder sample produces a different pattern than solid crystal. One longstanding ...

I know, this is being picky, but the double helix structure of DNA was not proposed based on a crystal structure. DNA oligonucleotides suitable for crystallization were not available to Wilkins and ...

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, ...
