Rosalind Franklin, carbon scientist

Abstract
Abstract On her 100th anniversary, we honour Rosalind Franklin with this Letter. Her legacy is a career packed with important scientific breakthroughs before she died of cancer at age 37. She has become one of the most iconic X-ray diffraction scientists, applying this technique to carbons, DNA and viruses. Here, we discuss her meticulous and careful work on carbon materials.
