Researchers furthered our understanding of the crystallization process in confined spaces by visualizing the ordering of colloidal particles in a droplet. The team conducted real-time microscopic ...

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 ...

Protein structure determination is essential for structure-based drug design, and X-ray analysis of protein crystals has contributed to major advances in protein structure confirmation. However, ...

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 ...

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. — International process systems and operation experts have launched high-tech startup Crystallization Systems Technology Inc. (CrySyst) to streamline processes used by companies ...

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, ...

With the aim of making micro-electromechanical systems (MEMS) even more powerful in the future, researchers at the Fraunhofer Institute for Laser Technology (ILT) in Aachen have developed a ...

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 ...
