The Gregori Aminoff Prize is intended to reward a documented, individual contribution in the field of crystallography, including areas concerned with the dynamics of the formation and dissolution of crystal structures. The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences decided to award the Gregori Aminoff Prize in crystallography 2025 to Professor Simon J.L. Billinge, Columbia University, USA. He received the prize for his decisive contribution to the further development of the pair distribution function, a tool that is widely used in materials science.
