The crystal structure prediction revealed that most of the low-energy predicted structures of axitinib are known ...

Crystal chemistry and mineralogy are interlinked disciplines that explore the intricate relationships between atomic structure, chemical bonding and the resulting physical properties of naturally ...

Jason Benedict is a materials science expert. He can speak to the media about crystals and light-responsive materials, and he can also answer general questions about chemistry and chemical reactions.

Often compared to the kernels popping and bouncing under the heat conveyed through microwave, the thermosalient ("thermo" relates to heat whereas "salient" means pointing outward of an angle) effect, ...

In 2018, more than 250 teams participated in the fifth annual US Crystal Growing Competition. Participants included thousands of K–12 students and teachers, and home-school families from 42 states and ...

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 ...

Going back through time, cultures around the world—from ancient Sumer to Indus Valley, China, and South America—have believed crystals could evoke a kind of sorcery, conjure change, and heal disease.

Teresa Ubide works for The University of Queensland. She receives funding from the Australian Research Council and infrastructure funding from AuScope NCRIS. Imagine you had a crystal ball that ...

Formed by the overnight evaporation of solvent, these jewel-like crystals bordered by concentric rings reminded Matthew Donahue of The Starry Night, a famous 19th-century painting by Vincent van Gogh.
