A pair of University of Houston professors, known for their contributions to crystal engineering with specific breakthroughs in the design of therapeutics to prevent crystallization in human diseases, ...

In nature and technology, crystallization plays a pivotal role, from forming snowflakes and pharmaceuticals to creating advanced batteries and desalination membranes. Despite its importance, ...

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 ...

Peter Vekilov, University of Houston Frank Worley Professor of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering, has published that incorporation of molecules into crystals occurs in two steps, divided by an ...

Scientists have shed light on a thermal process in magma that may help explain why similar volcanic systems can produce very different eruptive behaviours.

Exploring a private mine, we unearthed rare and vibrant amethyst crystals embedded deep within the rock formations. This video documents the excavation process, the stunning crystal formations ...

NYU researchers have found a way to use light to control how microscopic particles assemble into crystals, effectively turning illumination into a tool for shaping matter. By adding light-sensitive ...
