Solubility functions by a group of rules that determine how dissolvable a substance (solute) is in solvent and depends entirely on the physical and chemical properties of the solute and solvent. That ...

A recent theory challenges conventional understanding of crystallization. It shows that the dominant element in a solution—the solvent, not the solute—is the material that crystallizes. This finding, ...

Thermodynamics of aqueous solutions and solubility studies form a cornerstone of physical chemistry, integrating rigorous experimental observations with advanced theoretical models. The field explores ...

Chromatography is used to separate the given components of a mixture that have differing solubilities in a solvent. It can be used to separate coloured substances in a mixture, like the inks in this ...

Northwestern Engineering researchers have found new ways to directly solution process carbon nanotubes using just a cocktail of common solvents. Carbon nanotubes, cylinders made of one or more layers ...

A trip to the seaside is always fun - even in winter! But it does get a bit nippy and we need to warm up. A mug of hot chocolate! That'll do the trick and it'll help us understand solutions. Solutions ...
