You should choose the category this question belongs to from these categories: History, Science, Social Science, Fine Arts, Literature. You can only choose one category, so if in doubt, please choose the closest match.
PROBLEM: Instead of employing the Debye-Hull-Scherrer powder method, its namesakes relied on an array of atomic planes. Its namesakes built a vacuum apparatus and employed a hot filament, an accelerating electrode, and an arc-mounted Faraday box. A leak in the vacuum led its namesakes to heat the target, resulting in crystallized nickel, which gave startling results. A plot of collector current against beam energy was explained by constructive interference, and the results in general could be derived by combining Bragg's equation with the de Broglie wavelength for electrons. FTP name this experiment named for two physicists, which proved that electrons diffract.

SOLUTION: Science

PROBLEM: The Hoecht stain binds to the minor groove of this molecule, forming G-quadruplexes. The ratio of nitrogen isotopes in this molecule, which exists in A, B, and Z forms, was measured in the Meselson-Stahl experiment to give evidence for its semiconservative replication. It winds around proteins called histones, and Okazaki fragments are formed when its namesake enzyme travels from the 5-prime to 3-prime direction of this molecule adding nucleotides. For 10 points, name this molecule that carries the genetic information of living organisms.

SOLUTION: Science

PROBLEM: His verse includes a number of love poems, including a Fantasy and a Rapture, dedicated to Laura as well as the historical ballad A Hostage. He justified the need for art by discussing humanitys need to balance its rational and sensual nature with what he termed the the play drive in his On the Aesthetic Education of Man. In another of his works an obstinate father causes the death of his son Ferdinand, who has fallen in love with the musicians daughter, Luise Muller. That play, Intrigue and Love, was preceded by a play about the power struggle between the brothers Karl and Franz and followed by his take on Elizabeth Is Scottish rival and a Trilogy about a general during the Thirty Years War. For ten points, identify this German author of Mary Stuart, The Robbers, and Wallenstein.
