Who's going to #IUCr2026 in Calgary? As the world's crystallographers 'assemble' in Canada - can we post some #BraggYourPattern pictures that we find on our journeys?

A group of pattern scientists (crystallographers) sharing posts using the #BraggYourPattern hashtag, see a pattern, take a photo, share and enjoy! https://braggyourpattern.com/
🎉740 Crystal explorer kits sent to primary schools all over Australia and New Zealand - the last 10 will get sent out this week! Thanks to everyone who signed up for one. #BraggYourPattern
#FourierTiler already gets fans requesting options that I really had to add.. so here you go: release upgrade! github.com/stecanossa/F... New options: Log scale, non-squared FT magnitude, and export of 16-bit tiff images for those who cannot really stand small "dynamic ranges" 🗻 #BraggYourPattern
Found this pattern on a sun-dried wooden pillar on a hike today - nice educational analogue for the mosaic structure of single crystals isn't it? Such a well behaved cracking #BraggYourPattern
We've raced past 500 schools and now well over 650! Look how spread out those locations are. We're really happy that our Crystal Explorer Kits are reaching remote primary schools all over. #BraggYourPattern
And of course now anyone can flood Bluesky with their custom patterns... add the tag #FourierTiler so people don't miss any and can find them back! And of coruse, let's saturate #Braggyourpattern as well 😏
Stefano Canossa@stecanossa.bsky.social · 4mo agoI'm so happy to finally disclose Fourier Tiler, the software I always wanted to make, so that anyone can experience #Crystallography and #TotalScattering one mesmerizing image at a time! Let your creative curiosity run free in real and reciprocal space! #Braggyourpattern github.com/stecanossa/F...
#BraggYourPattern Seoul Edition #3: detail of a bronze sculpture at Ewha Womans University. amorphous in a way, crystalline in another... Depending on the wavelength ✨
#BraggYourPattern Seoul Edition #2: a... "45° stone wall"? Not quite sure how to call it but I questioned my cartesian reference for a second... Spotted in Namsan Sky Forest trail.
#BraggYourPattern Seoul Edition #1: it must have taken an incredible patience to make this packing masterpiece decorating Sungnyemun Gate 🌺
Here's the latest distribution map. 53 more schools have signed up since the post below! The most recent order is from a remote school in the Pilburra (NW part of WA), somewhere down the track in the photo. The Satellite view reinforces how remote it is. They also have an #elementsets on its way!
Bragg Your Pattern@braggyourpattern.bsky.social · 5mo agoWe just crossed the milestone of the 500th school to sign up for their crystal explorer kit!! #BraggYourPattern

Bragg Your Pattern@braggyourpattern.bsky.social · last yr.There are now boxes of #CrystalExplorer kits ready to go, a FREE resource for Primary Schools in Australia and NZ. We're targeting regional and remote schools (so far reaching from Tom Price to the Chatham Islands), head to BraggYourPattern.com to sign up for one
What did you do today? I added plane waves. #BraggYourPattern
The GingerBread Instruments is back after last year hiatus (blame on flamingos). #chemchat, can you determine the wallpaper group? #crystallography #BraggYourPattern
If you'd like to celebrate the biology of viruses - or the fight against viral diseases - this winter, try out our free and updated #VirusSnowflake designs. Please share, and if you have any photos of Virus Snowflakes in your area it would be lovely to see them! cvr-engagement.co.uk/virus-snowfl...
This looks an amazing resource for STEM, crystallography is a cross-discipline adventure!
Stieber Lab@stieberlab.bsky.social · 9mo agoThrilled to announce publication of the crystallography children’s book illustrated by undergraduate Justine Wong! You can buy it here for $15: meitneriumpress.com 50% of profits will support undergrad education at the Cal Poly Pomona Crystallography Co-op. #chemsky #chemchat

Anthony Majanlahti@anthonymajanlahti.bsky.social · 9mo ago#MosaicMonday takes us into a corridor with linear #fresco decoration and an intact geometric #mosaic floor, c. 150 CE, in the stupendous #VilladeiQuintili along the #Appia south of #Rome. The villa was the cause of its builders' death: #Commodus had them killed and took it. #AncientBluesky 🏺
And here we have our Fourier transform nr. 58! As far as I'm concerned, perhaps the most enigmatic and unexpected spectrum so far... anyway, quite a spectacle! #BraggYourPattern #Fouriertransform #crystallography As always, more on behance.net/specialdefects and instagram.com/specialdefects
Stefano Canossa@stecanossa.bsky.social · 9mo agoWhile playing around with shapes I discovered another optical illusion: it looks like it's tilting while going inwards, doesn't it... 🧐 it's not — check the corners. Its Fourier spectrum is really unlike anything I've seen so far... will post it soon. #BraggYourPattern
