''Acta Crystallographica Section B: Structural Science, Crystal Engineering and Materials'' publishes scientific articles on structural science. According to the journal: "Knowledge of the arrangements of atoms, including their temporal variations and dependencies on temperature and pressure, is often the key to understanding physical and chemical phenomena and is crucial for the design of new materials and supramolecular devices." It was formed in 1968 when the journal ''Acta Crystallographica'' was split into two parts and has been published for the
