Well maybe there are still some surprises. Consider the case of high-
pressure cooling.

There may be some surprises here too as one looks at smaller crystals
with smaller beams.

Just a few other comments. Students starting out now in this field
may have the opportunity to work with the next-generation x-ray
sources such as FEL's and ERL's. These sources are not just brighter
than the current synchrotrons. They will provide fully-coherent, high
spectral brilliance x-rays in shorter pulses than are currently
available. A number of novel techniques are being proposed that will
take advantage of these kinds of beams, but who knows what
opportunities wait in the future for the next highly-motivated
student. One place to start looking is "coherent diffraction
imaging" ... I think C. Riekel et. al. just published a Phys Rev
Letter on this subject.
