Crystallography deals with the geometric forms of crystals. It is the process that identifies how to describe, classify and measure said crystals, revealing what forces made them and the activities that occur within them. Crystallography is essential to progress in the applied sciences and technology and developments in all materials areas, including metals and alloys, ceramics, glasses, and polymers, as well as drug design. It is equally vital to progress in fundamental physics and chemistry,mineralogy and geology, and computer science, and to understanding of the dynamics and processes of living systems.

The following definition of crystallography is a quotation from the Wikipedia article on crystallography."Crystallography is the science of the arrangement of atoms in solids. The word "crystallography" derives from the Greek words crystallon = cold drop / frozen drop, with its meaning extending to all solids with some degree of transparency, and grapho = write."For more the rest of the article, refer to the related link below.

X-ray crystallography is used in understanding the molecular structures of various compounds. An example of its use involves the discovery of the double-helix structure of DNA with X-ray crystallography.
Crystallography protein refers to those protein is made into crystals which is easy to determine the three-dimensional structure and annlysis its properties.
A person who studies crystals is known as a crystallographer. The study of crystal is known as crystallography which looks at the formation and development of crystals.
