NYU researchers have found a way to use light to control how microscopic particles assemble into crystals, effectively ...

NYU scientists are using light to precisely control how tiny particles organize themselves into crystals. Their research, published in Chem, provides a simple and reversible method for forming ...

The atomic structure of solid substances can often be analysed quickly, easily and very precisely using X-rays. However, this requires that crystals of the corresponding substances exist. Chemists are ...

The large language model automates literature search, synthesis, and structural analysis to speed up materials discovery and ...

Sometimes, compounds crystallize in unexpected ways. This is a problem for drug manufacturers, who need to create consistent products. Scientists are working to understand why substances take on ...

This image by Shaista Hassan Lone, a scientist at the University of Kashmir, shows two polymorphs—different crystal structures—of 4-(dimethylamino)benzaldehyde. When Lone initially set out to grow ...

Researchers find a way to improve the stability of hybrid organic-inorganic crystals called mixed halide-perovskites, a promising material for solar cells. Scientists are interested in improving the ...

Wu Xiaohui of Wanhuida Intellectual Property explains why a recent decision on inventiveness assessments of co-solvent compound crystals heralds a significant shift in focus by the CNIPA, with ...
