New research reveals how discontinuous and continuous dynamic recrystallization spatially partition the microstructural ...

Perovskite solar cells (PSCs) are a promising next-generation photovoltaic technology that can achieve high power conversion efficiencies. However, their performance and long-term stability are ...

New research shows nano-TiO₂ does far more than speed up cement hydration. It accelerates crystallization early, then ...

To investigate this crystal nucleation process, the team performed multiscale structural analysis mainly using synchrotron X-rays. Based on this analysis, the team developed a model capable of ...

A research team has recently revealed a proton-mediated crystallization mechanism using advanced operando solid-state magic ...

Crystallization in liquids is a fundamental phase transition. While for many years, the understanding of crystallization was governed by classical nucleation theory, recent research has shifted focus ...

For an oyster growing a shell, a food scientist striving for the perfect ice cream, or a pharmaceutical operator isolating a drug, crystallization is king. Even though the crystal growth process is ...

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 ...
