Mirkin’s team began by depositing a tiny drop of poly-DL-lysine hydrobromide (PLH) onto the mica substrate using the tip of an atomic force microscope (AFM) at room temperature. Next, they scanned the ...

Herbal medicine quality control is challenging due to plant variation. Researchers tested a ‘fingerprinting’ method called ...

The last ten years have seen a revolution in our understanding of the mechanisms of biological crystal growth. While it had long been assumed that crystallisation would occur by the same classical ...

This 2½ day course aims to give chemists and chemical engineers a thorough practical knowledge of crystallisation processes. After an introduction the course will cover crystallisation of compounds ...

THE history of the various views held by different experimenters on the nuclear action of substances in exciting the sudden crystallisation of a supersaturated solution, has been already so well ...

In order to survive, biological systems need to form patterns and organise themselves. Scientists at the Max Planck Institute for Colloids and Interfaces in Potsdam, Germany, have now combined ...

Scientists have successfully developed a new technique to reliably grow crystals of organic soluble molecules from nanoscale droplets, unlocking the potential of accelerated new drug development.

In the context of polymer crystallization there are several still open and often controversially debated questions. The present volume addresses issues such as novel general views and concepts which ...

Russian state nuclear corporation Rosatom announced it has developed an innovative crystallisation refining technology for the purification and separation of nuclear materials from used nuclear fuel.
