Future progress will be defined by the development of new and innovative next-generation materials. Despite the magnitude of the endeavour, breakthroughs will depend on understanding at the smallest scale: fundamentally, the properties of a material…

Recent awards and publications are testament to the sustained efforts and long-standing contributions of the ILL diffraction group to crystallography, and reinforce our ongoing commitment to advancing scientific understanding in the discipline.

Processing diffraction data post-experiment requires complex numerical calculations to be coded by scientists into computer programs, relying on existing knowledge.  For a long time, the software consisted of a series of independent pieces of code…
