Join us today for a Collections at the Center event featuring a lecture by Melissa Santala and related SCARC materials!

02/02/2025

For centuries, people have inferred that crystals have an ordered internal structure based on their external form. It was not until the 20th century, with the development of x-ray diffraction, that the atomic structure of crystals was revealed. Melissa Santala will draw upon her experience as a materials scientist
and the SCARC’s rich history of science collection to discuss the process of imaging – and imagining – the atomic structure of crystals from x-ray diffraction patterns.
