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

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.

This image by Shaista Hassan Lone, a scientist at the University of Kashmir, shows two polymorphs—different crystal structures—of 4-(dimethylamino)benzaldehyde. When Lone initially set out to grow ...

Researchers find a way to improve the stability of hybrid organic-inorganic crystals called mixed halide-perovskites, a promising material for solar cells. Scientists are interested in improving the ...

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

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 ...

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.

“Reactive Noble-Gas Compounds Explored by 3D Electron Diffraction: XeF 2 −MnF 4 Adducts and a Facile Sample Handling Procedure” Since Bartlett’s discovery, which is commemorated with an International ...
