Crystallography
Crystallography is the study of the arrangement of atoms, molecules, and ions in a crystal structure. It involves the investigation of the geometric and symmetrical properties of crystals, as well as their physical and chemical properties. Crystallography helps in understanding the properties of materials, including their hardness, optical properties, electrical conductivity, and more. It also plays a crucial role in fields such as materials science, mineralogy, physics, and chemistry.
