Cecil Arnold Beevers (27 May 1908 – 16 January 2001) was a British crystallographer,[2] known for Beevers–Lipson strips, a computational aid for calculating Fourier transforms to determine the structure of crystals from crystallographic data, enabling the creation of models for complex molecules.[3]
