While the phenomenon of phase separation has historically been a problem for glass producers, it is now known to offer advantages in the production of certain materials such as glass ceramics and ...

Only a handful of compounds have a knack for crystallizing into a variety of forms, or polymorphs. One of the most prolific, a small molecule known as ROY (so called because it crystallizes in ...

Metal-organic framework (MOF) compounds ordinarily appear as three-dimensional crystals. An international team has now devised a method for preparing these materials in 2-D form—as flat platelets—and ...

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, Vol. 103, No. 51 (Dec. 19, 2006), pp. 19243-19248 (6 pages) High-throughput screening and optimization experiments are ...

Porous crystals called metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) consist of metallic intersections with organic molecules as connecting elements. Thanks to their high porosity, MOFs have an extremely large ...

We investigated in meso crystallization of membrane proteins to develop a fast screening technology which combines features of the well established classical vapor diffusion experiment with the batch ...

BJ Services Co., Lafayette, La. A new method calculates brine crystallization temperatures at elevated pressure based on the true crystallization temperature and the brine composition. The method ...
