Mucic acid crystals grown from a water-based solution achieved a record-breaking stiffness for an organic crystal.

On the one hand, softly organized and ordered, on the other hand, flowing like water or honey – this is the dual nature of liquid crystals. Scientists from Cracow took a detailed look at one of the ...

In the development of new pharmaceutical ingredients and other high-purity products, carefully controlled crystallization ...

Crystals made from mucic acid are the stiffest organic crystals reported to date. 1 They owe their rigidity to a dense web of hydrogen bonding between their molecules, giving them mechanical ...

Self-healing at 77 K reveals a crystal-based mechanism that does not rely on molecular diffusion ...

Noble gases have a reputation for being unreactive, inert elements, but more than 60 years ago Neil Bartlett demonstrated the first way to bond xenon. He created XePtF6, an orange-yellow solid.

But it always amazes me how you can get so much information from something so tiny.’ Today, Hatcher’s work primarily focuses ...

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 ...
