What is it about?
This paper descibes the first year of operation of the world's first completely autonomous beamline for biological crystallography. Scientists send frozen crystals and the beamline mounts, scans and collects optimal data sets without human intervention.

Why is it important?
The full automation of these complex experiments not only saves scientists time it is also able to collect better data than a human operator thanks to sample location algorithms and the correct use of all experiement parameters in the calculation of data collection strategies
