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 ...

Tokyo, Japan--Crystallization is the assembly of atoms or molecules into highly ordered solid crystals, which occurs in natural, biological, and artificial systems. However, crystallization in ...

Scientists have come up with a new technique to evaluate the mechanical forces generated in polymer crystallization as they cool down from their molten state. They used small, fluorescent molecules to ...

Machine learning (ML) is increasingly being utilized to optimize the research paradigm and shorten the time from discovery to application of novel functional materials, pharmaceuticals, and fine ...

Ninety-nine student projects will be showcased at Innovation Day on May 1; the public is invited to attend and vote for a ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) Crystalline materials with precisely engineered structures lie at the heart of virtually every advanced technology, from the silicon microchips powering our electronics to the ...

Excited to feature a recent publication by HTX Center users in the Izard Lab at Scripps as Crystals of the Month! ‘We used over 1000 commercially available crystallization screens … to attempt to grow ...

Optimizing the conditions in which crystallization takes place helps to guarantee good quality products. Using real-time, in-process analysis of the crystallization process can confirm crystal form ...

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, ...
