X-ray crystallography, like mass spectroscopy and nuclear spectroscopy, is an extremely useful material characterization technique that is unfortunately hard for amateurs to perform. The physical ...

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 X-ray Crystallography Center was fully renovated in November 2007 and houses a single-crystal X-ray diffraction system, a brand-new Bruker D8 VENTURE diffractometer, providing X-ray diffraction ...

What is X-Ray Scattering? X-ray scattering is a powerful analytical technique used to probe the structure and properties of materials at the nanoscale. It involves directing a beam of X-rays at a ...

An unusual protein structure known as a "rippled beta sheet," first predicted in 1953, has now been created in the laboratory and characterized in detail using x-ray crystallography. The new findings, ...

Researchers from Okayama University have discovered rapid structural changes in the oxygen-evolving center of Photosystem II (PSII) upon light excitation, revealing insights into the mechanism of ...

UB crystallographers will continue their research at the nation’s premier X-ray synchrotron thanks to a $17.5 million grant from the National Science Foundation. The funding will support the NSF ...
