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 ...

Process analytical technologies (PAT) have greatly developed in the past three decades and have been essential to improve the understanding of small-molecule crystallization 11, first in batch mode ...

Mucic acid crystals grown from a water-based solution achieved a record-breaking stiffness for an organic crystal. Stiffness is often described as the measure of resistance to deformation when a ...

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, ...
