Crystalline nanomaterials are valuable because their highly ordered structures give them useful properties for technologies ...

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 ...

Quantum-dot light-emitting diodes (QLEDs) have shown great potential in display and lighting applications. In particular, the incorporation of zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO NPs) as the electron ...

Biopreservation is a process by which the degradation of biologics is suppressed to enable the recovery of structure, viability, and function. Cryopreservation is the most common method for long-term ...

Molten carbon can form into either diamond or graphite. A new study shows how graphite can sometimes form even under conditions that should lead to diamond. (Getty Images) The graphite found in your ...

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, ...
