National Crystallography Services

National Crystallography Services is a specialized facility that helps researchers determine the detailed atomic structure of crystalline materials, including molecules and complex compounds. Using techniques like X-ray crystallography, they analyze how X-rays scatter when passing through crystals to reveal the precise arrangement of atoms. This information is essential for understanding molecular functions and designing new materials, medicines, and chemicals. The service provides expert support and advanced equipment to both academic and industry scientists, facilitating discoveries across chemistry, biology, and materials science fields.
