New this year!  When renewing or joining, we kindly invite you to consider making a voluntary donation of $10 to support the US National Committee for Crystallography. This donation is also tax deductible and these funds will go to help defray the cost of dues by the USNCCr to the IUCr.

This year the Nobel Prize in Chemistry went to three scientists for the discover and synthesis of quantum dots.  "Quantum dots are tiny crystals that scientists can tune to different colors, giving an extra-vivid pop to next-generation TV screens or illuminating tumors inside bodies so surgeons can hunt them down."  The banner image (and smaller image below) is that of "Glass tubes with quantum dots of perovskite nanocrystals, luminescing with all colors of the rainbow under ultraviolet radiation".
