Crystallographers use techniques such as X-ray diffraction to study the detailed 3D atomic structure of materials. In single-crystal X-ray diffraction, X-ray beams are directed toward a single crystal of a material. Detectors record how the X-rays diffract, or interact with, the atoms in the sample, providing researchers with information about the crystal’s structure. The new equipment also boosts the capability of analyzing the crystal structure of nanoporous metal-organic frameworks, or MOFs. About 30 participants attended lectures and gained hands-on experience processing common problems in crystal structure refinement and analysis.
