The protein complex crystallography beamline BL19U1 is preparing for the establishment of an automated drug screening platform by upgrading both hardware and data collection control systems to optimize efficiency. The upgrade of the experimental station devices and data collection control system on the BL19U1 beamline are reported in this paper.

A new 2D representation of 3D material textures based on the Clifford torus is presented.

A tomography-based ray-tracing approach for analytical absorption corrections for X-ray crystallography is presented. Several examples from long-wavelength macromolecular crystallography experiments demonstrate the efficacy of this new method.

Bi₂SiO₅ thin films on Nb-doped (111), (110) and (111) SrTiO₃ substrates exhibit ferroelectric and energy storage characteristics influenced by their various crystallinities.

A 3D-printed in situ crystallization plate is presented, which can be used to probe protein microcrystals in an external electric field.
