DURING the course of an investigation of the scattering of X-rays by Various carbons (incompletely graphitized materials containing graphite-like layer-planes but no three-dimensional crystalline order, and showing, therefore, only (00l) crystalline reflexions and (hk) two-dimensional bands) it was observed that the intensity of the (10) band was always anomalously high. The phenomenon was found to be of perfectly general occurrence for a wide variety of carbons. For microcrystalline graphite a…

X-Ray and Neutron Diffraction by Graphite Layers
FRANKLIN1 has shown that an anomalous two-fold increase of the X-ray diffraction intensity is observed for the two-dimensional 10 carbon band. She explains this by the fact that the L-electrons are…

This paper describes the results obtained from an X-ray examination of the carbonization products of certain vitrain coals after treatment at .temperatures up to 1000 °C. The methods employed in…
The Outer Electron Configuration in Metallic Copper
The effect on the atomic scattering factor of metallic copper of the 3d7.754s14p2.25 outer electron configuration, demanded by the Pauling valence of 5.50, is computed. Approximately a 6 percent…
Characterization and mathematical modeling of the structure of Canadian crude asphalt binders by x-ray diffraction
Eight samples of asphalt binder were retrieved from the provinces of Ontario and Alberta, Canada. Then they were pre-processed in thin film (1mm) on glass slides. X-ray diffraction (XRD) is used to…

Introduction to crystallographic refinement of macromolecular atomic models. Addendum
The first attempt at modelling of deformation density was in 1950 when R. Franklin published her observation of the influence of the bonding effects on the intensities of structure factors and…
Photograph 51, by Rosalind Franklin (1952)
TLDR
Photograph 51, or Photo 51, revealed information about DNA ́s three-dimensional structure by displaying the way a beam of X-rays scattered off a pure fiber of DNA.

Grand challenges in cellular biochemistry: the “next-gen” biochemistry
TLDR
It is said that Biochemistry is a young scientific discipline, making its “formal” debut toward the end of the 1900th century, with seminal works by Buchner (1897, Jaenicke, 2007), and these early and important contributions marked the road for future work in the fields of chemical and biochemical structures and associated functions.
