English chemist and X-ray crystallographer Rosalind Franklin used X-ray diffraction to reveal complex minerals and living tissues’ inner structures, including — famously — DNA. Had she not died in 1958 at 37, it is widely believed she would have shared the 1982 Nobel Prize in Chemistry with colleague Aaron Klug.
