research papersBeyond complementarity: a reverse-engineering framework for de novo crystal structure determination from EXAFS
This study introduces and validates a novel methodological paradigm that transforms extended X-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS) spectroscopy from a complementary local probe into a primary, standalone tool for determining complete crystal structures.
research papersFrom atoms to a data bank: optimizing transferability of electron-density symmetry
This work focuses on the electron density of atoms modeled with a multipolar approach. We investigate how the refinement of the multipole models with/without symmetry constraints and optimization of the orientation of the local coordinate system and pseudosymmetry assignment improves the accuracy of electron-density representations for atoms and atom types in a pseudoatom data bank.
feature articlesCrystallography in Open Science and its open educational resources
Open Science is the movement to make scientific research, the data and their dissemination available to any member of an inquiring society, from professionals to citizens, irrespective of their economic situation. The IUCr's Teaching Pamphlets and the Online Dictionary of Crystallography are educational resources fully open to Global South and Global North readers and authors.
