Researchers explored a colloidal crystal model to produce specific polymorphs, required for use in materials science and pharmaceuticals. Polymorphs are not mythical, chimeric beasts -- they are ...

The continued development of novel drugs, proteins, and advanced materials strongly rely on our ability to self-assemble molecules in solids with the most suitable structure (polymorph) in order to ...

A number of materials can crystallize in forms known as polymorphs, with these forms differing in the crystal lattice’s three-dimensional arrangement of molecules or atoms. Polymorphs tend to possess ...
