These two prizes were key staging points in the development of x-ray crystallography, a technique that has done so much to unravel the structure of matter at the atomic level. Exactly 50 years after the award of the prize to von Laue, Dorothy Hodgkin won the 1964 Nobel Prize in Chemistry for her work in establishing the structures of the vitamin B12 and penicillin, also via x-ray crystallography.
