What is crystallography?

Crystallography is the scientific study of crystals. It involves techniques for determining the three-dimensional arrangement of atoms in crystals, and how these atoms are arranged in a regular, repeating pattern. The study of crystallography provides a detailed understanding of the interactions between atoms and molecules, and has numerous applications in materials science, chemistry, geology, and biology. This information is used to determine the physical and chemical properties of a crystal, and can be used to design and optimize new materials with desired properties.
