Im deeply confused. They claim discovery of crystal structures but dont actually make crystals or show they exist? Like...wtf? You dont have a crystal if you dont have a crystal. We predict shit all day everyday, but I dont claim it is real and publish in Science without way more evidence.

Maybe someone wondered why I did not put a tool to highlight the Bragg's law when it emerges, or maybe not... Anyway, it's there now ("Bragg condition finder" button), plus an "Explain mode" that describes what the options are for and how to use them. Cheers! 🫸🫷 stecanossa.com/cosplayapp/

This is fantastic. Don't start if you have something to do, you'll be late.

I still remember the eye-opening moment when I realized that Bragg and diffuse scattering are both just a sum of waves... I can finally share an applet where anyone can put it into action. No equations, just a play of cosines: CosPlay 👉 stecanossa.com/cosplayapp/ #Crystallography #TotalScattering
