I think a comment should be added in the introduction about liquid crystals and perhaps a separate section as well. Liquid crystals may not seem to be crystals to a traditional geologist, but they have the properties of crystals according to physicists. With the ever growing presence of liquid crystal displays (iPods, cell phones, gaming devices, computer screens, TVs), the average reader may end up on this page upon wondering how his iPod screen works only to be told that crystals are solid. 129.63.129.196 ( talk) 16:04, 15 March 2013 (UTC)
Among other things to be fixed:

I have moved this section to X-ray crystallography, as it seems more appropriate there. Ldm1954 ( talk) 19:26, 6 December 2023 (UTC)
I propose splitting X-ray diffraction out of X-ray crystallography, discussion started at Talk:X-ray crystallography#Split x-ray diffraction and crystallography. The two are not the same, and there are many areas of XRD where the focus is not on detailed determination of atomic positions. Examples are powder diffraction where comparison is made to known samples, SAXS and many more. There are many areas/pages where it is relevant to say "use XRD" but wrong to say use "X-ray crystallography This would also help to improve the current rambling X-ray crystallography page. Comments to the X-ray crystallography talk page please. Ldm1954 ( talk) 07:51, 14 April 2024 (UTC)
