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 ...
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, ...
