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, ...

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 -- ...

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 ...

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 ...

Researchers have long struggled to explain how Earth’s solid inner core formed, cooled, and crystallized without undergoing extreme supercooling. But a recent study published in Nature ...

The literature said that the phenylsulfonamide that Keldy Mason was going to use to initiate a polymerization reaction was supposed to be a white solid. But the substance he had was a thick oil–that ...

New research has identified a new restriction on the chemistry involved in the Earth’s core, explaining how it was able to ...

Pharmaceutical manufacturing and quality control processes are stuck in the past. Process Analytical Technology (PAT) can bring production systems up-to-date and help realize manufacturing ...

The process of crystallization normally occurs in the blink of an eye and the researchers needed to understand it at the nanoscale.
