The inaugural Caribbean Crystallography School officially opened on 2 June 2025, with a ceremony held at the Faculty of Science and Technology of the University of the West Indies, Mona Campus, in ...

“Our team is developing new methodological approaches for this – in particular by combining cryo-electron microscopy and X-ray imaging.” Conceptual illustration generated with the assistance of ...

Kathleen Lonsdale was a crystallography pioneer and developed several techniques to study crystal structures using X-rays. She was brilliant, but she was also humble, hard-working, and adaptable ...

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 ...

Direct observation of electrons transfer in double-walled crystalline nanotube. The novel double-walled nanotube structure developed in this study can absorb electron donor molecules and maintain its ...

Understanding how proteins move will allow novel drugs to be designed. X-ray crystallography is a scientific method which produces a 3D picture of molecules with exquisite, atomic-level detail.

Structure-based drug design The blue-skies objective of X-ray crystallography is to get information about the function of a molecule from its structure. But its most obvious practical application is ...

The ultrashort X-ray pulses, lasting just tens of femtoseconds, outrun the X-ray damage to the crystals, allowing for data to be collected at room temperature under near physiological conditions.

In X-ray crystallography, a machine shoots a beam of X-rays through a crystal. The rays are diffracted by the crystal’s atoms into a pattern on film placed on the other side.
