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 ...

Remember that old high school chemistry experiment where salt crystals precipitate out of a saltwater solution – or maybe the one where rock candy crystals form from sugar water? It turns out that ...

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 ...

Crystallization research in the 1990s : an overview / Allan S. Myerson -- Integral equation analysis of homogeneous nucleation / Günther H. Peters, John Eggebrecht, and Maurice A. Larson -- ...

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, ...

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 ...

We watch crystallization take place every winter when ice crystals form on our windows. But no one had ever seen it happen at the molecular level – until now. Scientists have created a way to observe ...

The authors discuss the preparation of lipophilic drug nanocrystals by controlled crystallization during freeze-drying. Modern drug-discovery techniques are rapidly increasing the number of lipophilic ...
