For the next several decades, the Braggs' equation and spectrometer became the cornerstones of X-ray crystallography, largely supplanting Laue's polychromatic X-ray diffraction procedure.

The Braggs’ work in other words opened the door to the modern science of crystallography, which has revolutionzed drug discovery and materials science. Without X-ray diffraction, we’d never have ...

We use a polychromatic low energy X-ray beam that runs through a detector and a sample that is situated on the other side of the detector. This reflects the X-ray beam and creates a set of diffraction ...
