Dr. McLachlan has a Ph.D. in crystallization (completed as part of the Continuous Manufacturing and Advanced Crystallization Hub at the University of Strathclyde) and a Master’s degree in Chemical ...

Remember that old high school chemistry experiment where salt crystals precipitate out of a saltwater solution—or maybe the one where rock candy crystals form from sugar water? It turns out that your ...

Going back through time, cultures around the world—from ancient Sumer to Indus Valley, China, and South America—have believed crystals could evoke a kind of sorcery, conjure change, and heal disease.

"The advantage of studying colloidal particles is that we can observe crystallization processes at a single-particle level, which is very hard to do with atoms because they're too small and fast. With ...

The crystallization kinetics of polymer composites govern the formation and growth of ordered regions within a polymer matrix reinforced by fillers or fibres. During processing, the rate of cooling ...

Hydrogen is often seen as the fuel of the future on account of its zero-emission and high gravimetric energy density, meaning it stores more energy per unit of mass compared to gasoline. Its low ...

IF YESTERDAY’S ANNOUNCEMENT of the Nobel prize in physics—for developments in quantum mechanics that helped give birth to quantum computers—was greeted with general bafflement, today Sweden’s Royal ...

Long spikes of crystals emanate from a single point. They glow bright blue but are slowly being overtaken by splotches of bright orange. Credit: Submitted by Prodipta Samadder These crystals are all ...
