International Year of CrystallographyDate of Issue :30.01.2014
Crystallography
is the study of crystals and of the determination of the internal structure of
crystals using diffraction of X-rays, neutrons and electrons. Crystallography
is a subject with many applications in
physics, chemistry and biology. It is ever present in modern life in
drug development, nanotechnology, biotechnology and in the development
of new materials.
The year 2014 marks the centenary of the beginning of modern crystallography and its identification as the best tool for the structure determination of matter. To commemorate the outstanding achievements of crystallography and its contribution to humankind, the United Nations has designated 2014 as the International Year of Crystallography2014 (IYCr2014).
