Physical Structures
Often found in gardens, a lattice can be a decorative and functional element.

Supporting Plants
Lattices are commonly used to support plants as they grow upward.

Architectural Element
Lattices are often used as a creative architectural feature for shade or privacy.

Italian Scientist
If the polymer chain assumes a helicoidal conformation in the crystalline state, and if it does not contain asymmetric carbon atoms, it can be expected that either helices of the same sense, or, in equal ratio, helices of opposite sense are represented in the lattice.

Quote examples
Walter Kohn
Austrian Physicist
In particular, I established a reasonably accurate energy threshold for permanent displacement of a nucleus from its regular lattice position, substantially smaller than had been previously presumed.

Derek Harold Richard Barton
British Scientist
X-Ray crystallography is nowadays an accurate and rapid method of determining conformation in the crystal lattice, which conformation usually corresponds to the preferred conformation in solution.

Italian Scientist
If the chain symmetry is maintained in the crystal lattice, the possible occurrence of different space groups is considerably restricted.
