Researchers have recently found a new way to summon useful structures in magnetic materials using light, heat, and electric ...

In nature and technology, crystallization plays a pivotal role, from forming snowflakes and pharmaceuticals to creating advanced batteries and desalination membranes. Despite its importance, ...

Two novel techniques, atomic-resolution real-time video and conical carbon nanotube confinement, allow researchers to view never-before-seen details about crystal formation. The observations confirm ...

When materials reach extremely small size scales, strange things begin to happen. One of those phenomena is the formation of mesocrystals. Despite being composed of separate individual crystals, ...

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 ...

Peter Vekilov, University of Houston Frank Worley Professor of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering, has published that incorporation of molecules into crystals occurs in two steps, divided by an ...

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 ...

After pulling one lot of Sandimmune in September due to the unexpected formation of crystals in some bottles, Novartis is once again recalling two batches of the drug. The company has flagged crystal ...
