2016 will be a special year for those using powder diffraction instruments, analysis methods, and reference data. Three particularly noteworthy anniversaries in 2016 to reflect upon are:
-
• The 30th year for the journal Powder Diffraction journal (PDJ).
-
• The 75th year for the International Centre for Diffraction Data (ICDD).
-
• 65th Anniversary of the Denver X-ray Conference.
-
• The 100th year of the method known as powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD).
Look for more about each of these as the year progresses in multiple places including future editorials in Powder Diffraction journal (PDJ).
