"Crystals are ubiquitous—we use them in everything from technology to medicine—but our actual understanding of the crystallization process has been lacking," says James Martin, professor of ...

The simulations demonstrated that the process of crystallization under these nano-conditions involves carefully orchestrated interactions among ions, water molecules, and their confinement surfaces.

Engineers at Leeds University have developed a simple technology that can be used in existing chemical reactors to ensure ‘right first time’ drug-crystal formation. Ensuring drug crystals are formed ...

The researchers explicitly investigated the so-called crystal nucleation rate J (T). This is a measure of the probability that a crystal will form in a certain volume within a certain time.

"'IcePic' algorithm outperforms humans in predicting ice crystal formation." ScienceDaily. ScienceDaily, 25 July 2022. <www.sciencedaily.com / releases / 2022 / 07 / 220725164914.htm>.

All ice cream contains ice crystals, but ideally, you want the smallest crystals possible to ensure a creamy rather than crunchy texture. The rapid chilling and churning process generally results ...
