The year 2012 marks the centennial of the discovery of the diffraction of X-rays by crystals. This discovery was a great triumph not only for the idea that matter is composed of atoms, but also for the underlying paradigm of modern crystallography, stating that all structurally ordered matter is composed of periodic arrangements of these atoms. Since its early days, modern crystallography treat...
