(Nanowerk News) Ice surfaces have a thin layer of water below its melting temperature of 0 °C. Such premelting phenomenon is important for skating and snowflake growth. Similarly, liquid often ...

This Collection supports and amplifies research related to SDG 3 and SDG 9. Crystal polymorphism, the ability of a compound to crystallise in multiple distinct forms ...

Reliable batch-to-batch formation is crucial for crystalline, active pharmaceutical ingredients as two different polymorphs of the same drug may function very differently in the body. Scientists now ...

An expert chocolatier has to act somewhat like a blacksmith, heating and cooling their emulsion precisely to select for the perfect crystal lattice structure formation – cocoa butter, as physicist and ...

Polymorphism is common in all organic molecules, forming more than one unique crystalline forms called polymorphs. This phenomenon is gaining traction especially in the pharmaceutical industry owing ...

(Nanowerk News) Two novel techniques, atomic-resolution real-time video and conical carbon nanotube confinement, allow researchers to view never-before-seen details about crystal formation (Journal of ...

James Wuest studied chemistry and mathematics at Cornell University, where he received an A. B. in 1969. He did graduate work in organic chemistry with the late Robert B. Woodward at Harvard ...

This press release is also available in German. When you get a headache, you probably reach for aspirin. What is giving researchers a headache is the question of the crystal structure of aspirin. Is ...
