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, ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

NYU researchers have found a way to use light to control how microscopic particles assemble into crystals, effectively turning illumination into a tool for shaping matter. By adding light-sensitive ...
