crystallographers

Atomic arrangement analysts

Crystallographers are scientists who study the arrangement of atoms in crystalline solids.

They use techniques like X-ray diffraction to determine molecular structures, work that has been essential to advances in chemistry, biology, and materials science.

Crystallographers mapped the double helix structure of DNA.
