Mucic acid crystals grown from a water-based solution achieved a record-breaking stiffness for an organic crystal.

Noble gases have a reputation for being unreactive, inert elements, but more than 60 years ago Neil Bartlett demonstrated the first way to bond xenon. He created XePtF6, an orange-yellow solid.

Crystals made from mucic acid are the stiffest organic crystals reported to date. 1 They owe their rigidity to a dense web of hydrogen bonding between their molecules, giving them mechanical ...

This image by Shaista Hassan Lone, a scientist at the University of Kashmir, shows two polymorphs—different crystal structures—of 4-(dimethylamino)benzaldehyde. When Lone initially set out to grow ...

Researchers find a way to improve the stability of hybrid organic-inorganic crystals called mixed halide-perovskites, a promising material for solar cells. Scientists are interested in improving the ...

Wu Xiaohui of Wanhuida Intellectual Property explains why a recent decision on inventiveness assessments of co-solvent compound crystals heralds a significant shift in focus by the CNIPA, with ...

Formed by the overnight evaporation of solvent, these jewel-like crystals bordered by concentric rings reminded Matthew Donahue of The Starry Night, a famous 19th-century painting by Vincent van Gogh.

Cannabidiol (CBD) crystals, or CBD isolate, are the pure form of CBD. Ways to use CBD crystals include baked goods and food, carrier oils, and skin care products. CBD is one of many cannabinoid ...

“Reactive Noble-Gas Compounds Explored by 3D Electron Diffraction: XeF 2 −MnF 4 Adducts and a Facile Sample Handling Procedure” Since Bartlett’s discovery, which is commemorated with an International ...
