"Operational excellence and superior data are at the heart of our service expansion," says Dr. Pamela Smith, COO of Improved Pharma. "By integrating state-of-the art tools like the synchrotron sources ...

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 ...

IN the past five years, neutron diffraction analysis has been carried out with wide neutron beams and specimens of several cubic centimetres in volume, in order to obtain a manageable diffracted ...

The (relatively) ancient art of crystallography has had a huge impact on modern science by showing us the location of atoms within a molecule. The structure of DNA (and how it acts as an information ...

The authors discuss the valuable information that can be obtained from indexing and its applications in routine screening and analysis of solid forms. Crystal-structure determination using X-ray ...

To date, solving structures of potential therapeutics using X-ray diffraction (XRD) has been an assumed, pivotal step in the drug development process. But a recent paper by a team of researchers led ...

Figure 1: Basic host–guest motif of the Ba-IV crystal structures. Figure 2: Single-crystal X-ray diffraction data of Ba-IVc at 19 GPa. As we will see below, the crystal structure lacks translational ...

For many decades, the method to obtain atomic-level descriptions of chemical compounds and materials—be it a drug, a catalyst ...

On June 13, The University of Sydney’s, Sydney Analytical, proudly opened their new high performance single crystal X-ray diffraction facility. Befitting of this world class facility, the newly ...

A lucky traveler who discovered four large nuggets of gold in Venezuela decades ago took his finds to Los Alamos National Laboratory to help determine if they were single-crystal specimens. A lucky ...

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 ...
