Abstract

This article is a brief autobiographical account of our life in science and the path that we took in performing the research for which we were awarded the Gregori Aminoff Prize in Crystallography 2017 by the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences. We were invited to write it by the editor-in-chief of Physica Scripta, Suzy Lidström, who charged us with the task of contributing to a series of autobiographical articles published since 2014, the International Year of Crystallography, on the lives of the Aminoff Prize winners. As this series is intended to be of particular interest to young scientists, teachers and lecturers and those researching the history of science, we tried to adhere to this purpose while writing our story. It does not pretend to be a comprehensive review either of our own scientific results or, especially, of covering the complete history of the research field of high-pressure crystallography in which we are active.
