Blog – Boosting Research Efficiency in Industry with FAIR Data
In this blog (based on the webinar "Boosting Research Efficiency in Industry with FAIR Data") we discuss the FAIR data principles and their potential. Topics include how these principles are applied at the CCDC and how the chemical industry can benefit from them. Read more.
New CSD-Particle Online Training Courses
We have six online training courses to help you learn the basics of how to use the CSD software. The latest course added to the collection is "Surface Analysis with CSD-Particle", presented in a "watch, try, test" format, allowing you to receive a completion certificate for your efforts.
Alongside these free courses, if you want to learn more about CSD-Particle, we have two new self-guided workshops: "Surface Analysis with CSD-Particle Tools in Mercury" and "Investigation of New Plastic and Elastic Properties Tools in Mercury." In these workshops, you can explore the chemical and topological properties of particle surfaces and slip planes in crystals using a step-by-step workshop guide.
New How-To Videos
Discover how Mercury makes it easy to explore symmetry in crystal structures and how Mogul can be used as a structure validation tool during crystal structure refinement. Watch the videos to learn more.
