Description
"As clear as crystal"
Arnab Bhattacharya
TIFR

The beauty of crystals - gemstones, snowflakes, grains of sugar and salt - has intrigued us since ancient times. Only in the early 20th century did X-rays allow one to "see" the regular arrangement of atoms in crystalline materials. 2014, the UN's International Year of Crystallography, marks the centenary of the discovery of X-ray diffraction, a very significant finding that led to many advances in science: from the structure of diamonds and DNA, to cocoa butter in chocolate, there's certainly much to Bragg about!
