Theory of crystal formation complete again Date: February 19, 2013 Source: Eindhoven University of Technology Summary: Exactly how a crystal forms from solution is a problem that has occupied ...

On the other hand, there have been some who suggested that a non-classical crystallization process involving metastable intermediate crystal structures may occur in some systems.

We studied the formation mechanism of ‘nano-oriented crystals (NOCs)’ of isotactic polypropylene in elongational crystallization through crystallization temperature dependence of NOCs formation.

At the interface between chemistry and physics, the process of crystallization is omnipresent in nature and industry. It is the basis for the formation of snowflakes but also of certain active ...

Crystal formation follows a two-step process: messy, shapeless clumps of particles, or amorphous blobs, first come together before finally organizing themselves into the beautiful, ordered ...

Crystallization is a very basic chemical process: School children can witness it with their own eyes. But scientists had not, until now, been able to observe this process on the molecular level ...

Researchers at Tohoku University took a deep dive into using colloidal crystallization as a model system to figure out how to achieve that fine control over specific polymorph formation. The ...

Crystal nucleation and transformation events often happen suddenly and spontaneously, leaving researchers with little chance to study these microscopic processes in detail. But under the right ...

Scientists in the US have demonstrated a new technique that is capable of starting crystallisation from scratch and then controlling and imaging the process as it proceeds in real time. Chad Mirkin ...
