Method evidence record

X-Ray Crystallography

X-ray crystallography is a technique that determines the three-dimensional atomic structure of crystals by analyzing the diffraction patterns produced when X-rays pass through them. Developed by William Henry Bragg and William Lawrence Bragg in 1912, X-ray crystallography has become the gold standard for structure determination in chemistry, biochemistry, and materials science, winning multiple Nobel Prizes for its profound impact.
