Crystalline nanomaterials are valuable because their highly ordered structures give them useful properties for technologies ...

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 ...

Computer simulations reveal that mesophases dramatically speed nanoparticle crystallization and improve crystal quality by ...

Lateral crystallization of silicon thin films has emerged as a promising technique for the fabrication of state‐of‐the‐art transistor devices. This method promotes the growth of highly oriented ...

With the aim of making micro-electromechanical systems (MEMS) even more powerful in the future, researchers at the Fraunhofer Institute for Laser Technology (ILT) in Aachen have developed a ...

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. — International process systems and operation experts have launched high-tech startup Crystallization Systems Technology Inc. (CrySyst) to streamline processes used by companies ...

Scientists from across the UK and Europe are working together to build a better understanding of the chemical processes behind the creation of crystals with the aim of developing new ways to produce ...

The creation of a reproducible crystallisation process is a fundamental challenge to drug manufacturers, but a technique which provides real time detailed analyses of chemical processes could provide ...
