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 ...

Mastery over particle attributes—size, shape, and composition—has transformed technologies across electronics, optics, materials science, and biomedicine. Uniform microparticles and nanoparticles, ...

Even though the crystallization community has established sound industrial practices, the next step in this evolution is to transition from reactive root-cause analyses to proactive work, such as ...

Crystalline nanomaterials are valuable because their highly ordered structures give them useful properties for technologies such as data storage and optical devices. But forming nanoparticles from ...

NYU researchers discovered a new crystal—a rod-shaped, hollow, low-density structure, shown here in experiments and simulations—naming it "Zangenite" for the NYU graduate student who found it. Credit: ...
