GlossaryX-ray diffraction

technique to determine atomic structure of crystals using X-rays

X-ray diffraction (XRD) is a technique used to study the atomic structure of crystalline materials. By directing X-rays at a crystal and analyzing the pattern of the rays that are scattered, scientists can determine the arrangement of atoms within the crystal. This method is crucial for understanding the molecular structure of various substances, including biological molecules like proteins and DNA.
