A new invention has been made by Argonne Laboratory researchers to align molecules using lasers. This will eliminate the need to crystallize large groups of molecules for synchrotron X-ray diffraction. Crystallization allows scientists to create a periodic structure that will strongly diffract in specific directions when bombarded with X-rays. From the resulting diffraction pattern, scientists [...]
