Abstract

The intersection among the disciplines of science-biology, chemistry, physics, and geology-is the atomic or molecular description of matter. Whether it is the structure of DNA, benzene, a cuprate superconductor, or magnesium silicates, there are many examples of critical structures upon which fundamental theories are based. The most definitive method of structure determination is generally considered to be X-ray diffraction, a technique used routinely in research across the sciences.
