The International Year of Crystallography IYCr2014 at Siena

(L'Anno Internazionale della Cristallografia IYCr2014 a Siena)


Organizers: Regione Toscana, Amico Museo 2014
Venue: 19 May 2014, 4:30 pm, Aula Magna, Accademia dei Fisiocritici, Siena, Piazzetta Silvio Gigli (Prato di Sant'Agostino) 2


Three teachers of the University of Siena will give an introduction to crystallography and its applications in biology, materials science, mineralogy and art. From a scientific point of view, one of the most interesting properties of crystals is the fact that, when exposed to X-rays, they will produce a ("diffraction") image which allows us to see (literally!) the structures formed by the atoms and molecules they are made from.
