Researchers furthered our understanding of the crystallization process in confined spaces by visualizing the ordering of colloidal particles in a droplet. The team conducted real-time microscopic ...

A recent theory challenges conventional understanding of crystallization. It shows that the dominant element in a solution—the solvent, not the solute—is the material that crystallizes. This finding, ...

Protein crystallization is an important tool to purify proteins as well as to demonstrate their chemical purity. This process is essential for X-ray crystallography, a field which has contributed ...
