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 ...

Over the past few decades, the crystallization behavior in miscible crystalline/amorphous polymer blends has been extensively investigated 1. During crystallization in such blend systems, the ...

Scientists have come up with a new technique to evaluate the mechanical forces generated in polymer crystallization as they cool down from their molten state. They used small, fluorescent molecules to ...

New research into the crystallization process of additively manufactured Finemet alloys offers a promising roadmap toward ...

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 ...

Protein crystallization is an important tool to purify proteins as well as to demonstrate their chemical purity. This process is essential for X-ray crystallography, a field which has contributed ...

From the snow formation process of crystallization, the artful beauty of this chemistry phenomenon can be glimpsed. Actually behind the amazing picture is the great strength of this reaction in ...

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 ...
