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 ...

The crystallization process of liquid metals has attracted significant attention for many years due to its importance in the materials processing field and due to interest in certain predictable ...

We report simulations on the local structural evolution in the liquid-bcc transition of a model iron. Fourteen main Voronoi polyhedra are chosen as the representatives of short-range orders (SROs) and ...

Microscopic black holes could arise from a crystallization of the fabric of spacetime. This idea comes from researchers who ...

Research groups supported by industry tackle the challenges of continuous crystallization and process analytical technology. Continuous processing is attracting attention in the manufacture of both ...

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 -- ...

We watch crystallization take place every winter when ice crystals form on our windows. But no one had ever seen it happen at the molecular level – until now. Scientists have created a way to observe ...

The authors discuss the preparation of lipophilic drug nanocrystals by controlled crystallization during freeze-drying. Modern drug-discovery techniques are rapidly increasing the number of lipophilic ...

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 ...

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 ...

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, ...
