Research groups supported by industry tackle the challenges of continuous crystallization and process analytical technology. Nicholas Morley/E+/GETTY IMAGES Continuous processing is attracting ...

An integrated pilot plant tests heteronucleation and continuous crystallization. Nicholas Morley/E+/GETTY IMAGES Continuous processing is attracting attention in the manufacture of both small-molecule ...

Scientists have come up with a new technique to evaluate the mechanical forces generated in polymer crystallization as they cool down from their molten state. They used small, fluorescent molecules to ...

With the aim of making micro-electromechanical systems (MEMS) even more powerful in the future, researchers at the Fraunhofer Institute for Laser Technology (ILT) in Aachen have developed a ...

Through the years, the public has been apprised on incidents where engineers invent something before they fully comprehend why it works. To understand the "why," they must often create new tools and ...

In some vitrous substances, when heated, not one, but two physical mechanisms are responsible for crystallization, as scientists have discovered. The first-time use of numerical image processing to ...
