Before Watson and Crick basked in Nobel glory, before The Double Helix mythologized their genius, there was the photo. Photo 51 — crisp, clear, and groundbreaking — captured by Dr. Rosalind Franklin, ...

Much of the controversy comes from a central idea: that James Watson and Francis Crick — the first to figure out DNA's shape — stole data from another scientist named Rosalind Franklin.

In his acceptance speech on behalf of himself and his colleagues, Watson never mentioned biophysicist Rosalind Franklin, whose development of advanced X-ray crystallography while she was a research ...

Researching the breakthrough, Myers learned the story of chemist Rosalind Franklin, whose work—including a now-famous X-ray image —paved the way for James Watson and Francis Crick’s famous ...

At the heart of the popular narrative is Photograph 51, an X-ray image taken at King’s College London in 1952 by Franklin and her graduate student Raymond Gosling.

It was there that Franklin captured the iconic Photograph 51, an X-ray image showing DNA's criss-cross shape. Then, the story gets tricky.

' The X-ray diffraction photograph that led to the award, 'photo 51,' was taken by Rosalind Franklin. There are claims that Franklin lost the honor to Watson and others, but it has become clear ...

Two researchers say that Rosalind Franklin knowingly collaborated with James Watson and Francis Crick to discover the molecular structure of DNA.
