The Second European Crystallography Video Contest was open to all schoolchildren from European countries. Its goal was to introduce young students to the exciting and challenging world of Crystal Growing and Crystallography. High school students were encouraged to participate by making a short video to share their experiences growing crystals […]
Dr. Felipe Gándara Barragán has made significant contributions to the field of reticular chemistry over the last decade and has been deeply engaged in MOFs and COFs research. His innovative approach emphasizes the critical role of structural chemistry in understanding, controlling, and designing novel molecular-based materials with tailored properties for […]
Dr Lauren E Hatcher, Royal Society University Research Fellow (URF) at Cardiff University, is awarded the 2025 George Sheldrick Prize in recognition of her pioneering contributions to time-resolved crystallography and the structural study of photoactive materials. Dr Hatcher has developed and applied advanced crystallographic techniques to capture dynamic photoinduced processes […]
