Researchers from the labs of Professors Vinayak Dravid and Omar Farha developed a high-resolution approach to map ...

Found in salt, sugar, snowflakes and gemstones, crystals are highly ordered, layered structures Although crystals are ubiquitous in nature, how they form has remained a mystery Using optimized ...

High temperature microscopy is the use of microscopy techniques on samples at high temperatures. Often, this means the microscopy instrumentation needs to be specifically designed to cope with the ...

(Nanowerk News) A team of New York University researchers has created a new way to visualize crystals by peering inside their structures, akin to having X-ray vision. Their new technique – which they ...

UB-HWI offers a range of Structural Services to academic and industrial partners including single-particle cryo-EM, microcrystal-electron diffraction, and crystallization screening. Our philosophy is ...

Active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) are typically produced through crystallization. In this process, an organic molecule can take on multiple crystalline forms. Solid-state characteristics, ...

Researchers have studied the kinetic and thermodynamic processes of sugar crystallization in the making of fondant. They combine a controlled kneading machine with light microscopy to precisely ...

The new cell-free protein crystallization (CFPC) method developed by Tokyo Tech includes direct protein crystallization and is a major headway in the field of structural biology. This technique will ...

Automated kneading and microscopy yield new findings in how sugar crystals form in confectionery, showing promise for improved texture control and potential for healthier, low-calorie alternatives ...
