In a new review, coinciding with the millionth structure being added to the CSD, researchers from the Cambridge Crystallographic Data Centre (CCDC) have highlighted the incredible impact this database has had on the scientific fields of Physics, Chemistry and Biology since its inception. This success of the crystallographic community in sharing data has been fundamental to advances in the structural sciences. The future of the database also looks to be strong, as the demand for big data, machine learning and the design of new materials with tailored properties continues to increase.
