2012/2013 mark the 100th anniversary of von Laue's diffraction of X-rays from single crystals of copper sulfate, the postulation of Bragg's law, and the solution of the first X-ray structure. However, even before 1912, the study of crystals was an integral part of chemistry and it played a major role in development of modern chemical science, including key concepts such as atoms, molecules, isomerism, and chirality.
