100 years of x-ray crystallography

Great video: 100 years of x-ray crystallography: http://www.theguardian.com/science/video/2013/oct/09/100-years-x-ray-crystallography-video-animation?goback=.gde_3614857_member_5796412999388381186#%21 "X-ray crystallography is one of the greatest innovations of the 20th century. This animated journey through its 100 year history begins with the pioneering work of William and Lawrence Bragg in 1913 and ends on the surface of Mars. To date 28 Nobel Prizes have been awarded to projects related to the field and x-ray crystallography remains the foremost technique in determining the structures of a huge range of complex molecules.
• This film was produced in celebration of the Bragg Centenary and was supported by the Science and Technology Facilities Council"
