| Crystallographers describe the repeating unit of a crystal lattice, the unit cell, by the length of its edges and angles between them. |
| Crystallographers not only study the structure of materials but can also use this knowledge to modify a structure to give it new properties or to make it behave differently. |
| Today there are more than 12,000 crystallographers worldwide, and most or all of them use these techniques. |
| In protein structural biology, many crystallographers complement their investigations with NMR and vice versa. |
| Yet despite the field's scientific progress, few women have joined Hodgkin on the roster of crystallographers. |
| Crystallographers are familiar with the rhombic dodecahedron as a domain of reference with which to account for the growth and structure of natural crystals. |
