Through the years, the public has been apprised on incidents where engineers invent something before they fully comprehend why it works. To understand the "why," they must often create new tools and ...

Crystallization research in the 1990s : an overview / Allan S. Myerson -- Integral equation analysis of homogeneous nucleation / Günther H. Peters, John Eggebrecht, and Maurice A. Larson -- ...

Chirality—often described as "handedness"—is a fundamental property of nature, underlying the behavior of molecules ranging ...

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, ...

It’s not magic, it’s acoustic levitation. The two metal probes emit and reflect sound waves that trap this liquid droplet in midair. Franziska Emmerling uses the effect to study crystallization ...

Industrial crystallization is heavily used as a purification step and to isolate valuable products with the desired solid-state properties. Consequently, it plays a major role in the production of ...

To some, observing droplets of saturated aqueous solutions crystallize is monotonous. But, one professor compares this natural reaction to beautiful works of art, as the colours and structures appear ...

If quantum computing is going to become an every-day reality, we need better superconducting thin films, the hardware that enables storage and processing of quantum information. Too often, these thin ...

Inclusion crystals and host–guest chemistry represent a dynamic field of research that explores the ability of crystalline materials to incorporate guest molecules through non‐covalent interactions.

Two industry sectors that have the most to gain by embracing green chemistry came together earlier this month to share success stories at the 3rd International Symposium on Green Processing in the ...

Proceedings of the Royal Irish Academy. Section B: Biological, Geological, and Chemical Science, Vol. 65 (1966/1967), pp. 203-236 (39 pages) The Ardara granite pluton is made up of two intrusive units ...
