Crystal polymorphism is critically important in the fields of pharmaceuticals and materials science. For instance, a metastable polymorph of an active pharmaceutical ingredient may benefit from ...

BUFFALO, N.Y. — University at Buffalo chemist Jason Benedict and his team spent years developing photoswitchable crystals. Every crystal’s shape is a mirror of the internal arrangement of their ...

When scientists study how materials behave under extreme conditions, they typically examine what happens under compression. But what occurs when you pull matter apart in all directions simultaneously?

Scientists have redefined the state-of-the-art in modeling and predicting the free energy of crystals. Their work shows that crystal form stability under real-world temperature and humidity conditions ...

MIT physicists have synthesized a new family of bulk crystals whose electrons behave as though they move in an effectively ...

Superconductors are materials that conduct electricity with an electrical resistance of zero. Superconductivity is generally ...

Metalworkers and metallurgists have long appreciated the ability to tailor the performance characteristics of steel (an alloy of iron and carbon), including their strength, hardness, ductility and ...

Scientists at Tokyo Tech have developed a new cell-free protein crystallization (CFPC) method that is expected to advance research in structural biology. The technique will enable the analysis of ...
