Date of Issue : 1 September 2014

One hundred years ago, Max von Laue received the Nobel Prize for proving that X-rays are diffracted by crystals. This discovery was simultaneously the birth of modern crystallography which has used X-rays for the non-destructive analysis of the structure of solid matter ever since then. On the occasion of this anniversary, the UNO proclaimed 2014 the International Year of Crystallography. Liechtenstein Post will issue a set of two stamps on  1st September 2014 to commemorate the special year of Crystallography.

Through the “Metamorphosis Sequence 1″ (value: CHF 1.00) and “Metamorphosis Sequence 2″ (value: CHF 2.00) stamps, the Philately Liechtenstein is drawing attention to this influential field of science. Set out in a row, the stamps show how a crystal grows over thousands of years.

Crystallography plays a crucial role in the development of almost all new materials for everyday products. The fields of application of this branch of science are extremely diverse and also affect developments in agriculture, aerospace, automotive and aircraft construction, electronics, cosmetics and pharmacy. However, crystallographers not only study the structure of materials, they also use this knowledge to change structure and thus give materials new properties.
