A seed crystal can be dropped into a saturated solution of sodium acetate. The solution will suddenly crystallize and turn to solid. Alternately, the solution may be slowly poured out onto a seed ...

Polymorphs are not mythical, chimeric beasts—they are substances with identical chemical compositions but differing crystal ...

crystallization, chemical vapor deposition Understanding the reaction kinetics and mechanisms associated with generation of chemicals (including petrochemicals) and energy through various theoretical ...

Researchers explored a colloidal crystal model to produce specific polymorphs, required for use in materials science and pharmaceuticals.

Scientists found complex volcanic rocks in Jezero Crater, hinting at ancient Mars life and geological history potential.

The atoms and molecules that make up all substances are connected in a particular way for each substance. In crystals, the particles repeat in a pattern that gives the crystal its special shape. Some ...

2) Synthesis of new functional materials including ionic liquids, organic frameworks, magnetic materials and catalysts with different methods including supercritical fluids, crystallization, chemical ...

For one synthesis approach, calcite crystals were grown slowly. SEM images of these crystals showed rhombohedral, or ...
