Blast yields new crystal: Researchers found a unique calcium–copper–silicon clathrate in red trinitite from the Trinity ...

Crystal polymorphism is critically important in the fields of pharmaceuticals and materials science. For instance, a metastable polymorph of an active pharmaceutical ingredient may benefit from ...

A new theory 'demystifies' the crystallization process and shows that the material that crystallizes is the dominant component within a solution -- which is the solvent, not the solute. The theory ...

The supramolecular interaction between the amino acid Fmoc-pentafluoro-phenylalanine and the partner molecule led to the formation of a crystal complex in the solid state. In water, the two molecules ...

This new development uses a phenomenon called plasmonic heating that enables more precise crystal formation. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate commission. Here’s ...

A recent theory challenges conventional understanding of crystallization. It shows that the dominant element in a solution—the solvent, not the solute—is the material that crystallizes. This finding, ...
