When physicists perform and evaluate experiments they sometimes have to learn that their results differ significantly from their initial expectations. An example of this are the findings of physicists Peter Debye from the Netherlands (1884–1966) (Fig. 2) and Paul Scherrer from Switzerland (1890–1969) (Fig. 3). Their 1915 report, Interferences on Randomly Distributed Particles in X-Ray Light, Part I (Interferenzen an regellos orientierten Teilchen im Röntgenlicht I) described the development of a new approach to solve the atomic structure of crystals: X-ray powder diffractometry [1].
