Crowdphase is an online multiplayer game for solving the phase problem in X-ray crystallography. X-ray crystallography is a method based on X-ray diffraction for determining the molecular structure of materials that can form crystals. In biology, this can be used to solve the structure of molecules such as proteins, DNA or drugs.
