Interesting approach to determining partial atomic charges through #SHELXL refinement! 🔬🧪 But what if we consider the uncertainties and the 3-sigma significance criterion? 🤔📊

I still remember the eye-opening moment when I realized that Bragg and diffuse scattering are both just a sum of waves... I can finally share an applet where anyone can put it into action. No equations, just a play of cosines: CosPlay

Need to ship your #crystallography or #cryoEM samples at cryogenic temperatures? The CX100 is design specifically for that task when combined with our shipping canes, Unipucks or Cryo-EM pucks. Several shipping cases are available as well - Learn More zurl.co/PuVnj

Hmm, why this Et₂O is not fitting well? And why there are hydrogens on the oxygen?

Trust chemists, they say...

Kudos for the stomach to actually open that book already; the review was quite a painful read 🤒

Useful reminder that #crystallography textbooks — not only crystallography-based papers — can be published without sanity checks by crystallographers... with tragicomic results.

🫨 I was shocked by the statements made by the original author: "Some space groups may be mathematically legitimate, but chemically impossible... Majority of the 230 space groups proposed 200 years ago, yet to find a crystal structure" @actacrysta.iucr.org
