All events

This is a concise listing of all events in this country that are associated with the International Year of Crystallography 2014 and its follow-up initiatives.

Israel Post commemorative stamp issue A Crystallography 2014 Stamp Sheet has been issued by the Israel Philatelic Service to celebrate the Nobel Prize awarded to Dan Shechtman in 2011, and the International Year of Crystallography 2014.

This extract from 50 Years of X-ray Diffraction, edited by P. P. Ewald and published in 1962, recounts the early development of crystallography in this region.

Israel

At the Weizmann Institute in Rehovoth X-ray crystal analysis was from its beginning (1948) in the hands of the chemists. G. M. J. Schmidt in particular studied the effects of 'molecular overcrowding' on the structures of organic crystals. J. Gillis at the same institute is interested in the mathematical and computational problems of crystal structure analysis.

In the Physics Department of the Hebrew University in Jerusalem (Prof. E. Alexander) problems of X-ray optics and spectroscopy are being studied. Further laboratories using X-ray diffraction are those of the Atomic Energy Commission (governmental) and of Tadir, Ltd. (industrial).
