The ECA kindly invites you to the 45th ECA Lunch webinar: Speaker: Dr. René de Gelder Title: Decoding Organic Multicomponent Crystals Abstract Multicomponent crystals (MCCs) composed of organic residues enable the tuning and enhancement of material properties without requiring covalent modification of their components. However, the systematic classification of organic MCCs raises […]
How is crystallography being taught today? This insightful article from the IUCr Newsletter explores the current state of crystallography education in French universities, revealing a decline in dedicated crystallography courses and highlighting broader international challenges. As emphasized by new IUCr President Thomas Proffen in another article of the IUCrNesletter (link https://www.iucr.org/news/newsletter/volume-34/number-4/calgary-berlin-presidential-handover), […]
