And here we have our Fourier transform nr. 58! As far as I'm concerned, perhaps the most enigmatic and unexpected spectrum so far... anyway, quite a spectacle! #BraggYourPattern #Fouriertransform #crystallography

Great Event! Thanks for having me on the lineup. Look forward to new collaboration with Japan.
22 talks. 2 days. 1 goal: designing the materials of the future.
From Kyoto to Stuttgart—our scientists gathered for the Japanese–German Symposium on Future Materials Design. We played hosted, while JST’s PRESTO program powered the event! Read more at: www.fkf.mpg.de/8751400/2025...
