this to his famous DNA structure research. It is so valued because it allows the structure of a crystalline material can be determined‚ based on the diffraction of x-rays due to electron density within the crystal. The mystery of the arrangement of atoms can be solved when the electrons in the crystal‚ which has a particular‚ repeating arrangement of atoms‚ scatter a beam of x-rays. It can be applied to study many crystalline materials‚ from ionic molecules to biomolecules. The technique can also be
