Crystallographers believed in X-ray results, which are of course very accurate. But the x-rays are limited, and electron microscopy filled the gap, and so the discovery of quasicrystals could have been discovered only by electron microscopy, and the community of crystallographers, for several years, was not willing to listen.

I fell in love with science and decided to continue for my Ph.D., and from there on, I was a scientist.

In most cases, the news is not really news. But in some cases, discoveries are made and should be listened to.
