Brijith Thomas participated in the 27th Congress and General Assembly of the International Union of Crystallography (IUCr 2026) in Calgary, Canada, where he presented “Bridging Order and Disorder: Integration of Solid-state NMR and Diffraction Techniques.” The presentation, delivered as part of MS-056: Combining Complementary Techniques in Quantum Crystallography, highlighted the integration of solid-state NMR (ssNMR), three-dimensional electron diffraction (3D ED), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and periodic density functional theory (DFT) for determining the structures of complex, nanocrystalline, and disordered materials. Particular emphasis was placed on how NMR crystallography and 3D electron diffraction provide complementary local- and long-range structural information, enabling structural characterization when conventional diffraction methods alone are insufficient. The IUCr 2026 Congress in Calgary brought together the international crystallography community and provided an excellent forum for discussions on emerging approaches in NMR crystallography, quantum crystallography, electron diffraction, computational structural science, and materials characterization.
