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 ...

Protein structure determination is essential for structure-based drug design, and X-ray analysis of protein crystals has contributed to major advances in protein structure confirmation. However, ...

Remember that old high school chemistry experiment where salt crystals precipitate out of a saltwater solution – or maybe the one where rock candy crystals form from sugar water? It turns out that ...

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 ...

Molten carbon can crystallize into diamond or graphite, but it has been difficult to study this process. New simulations show that graphite can sometimes "hijack" the pathway that would lead to ...

Researchers at the Hong Kong Polytechnic University, Sichuan University, and other institutes recently introduced a new two-step crystallization process that could yield more uniform NFAs. Using this ...
