Computer simulations reveal that mesophases dramatically speed nanoparticle crystallization and improve crystal quality by ...

For the first time ever, researchers have watched the mesmerizing process of nanoparticles self-assembling into solid materials. In the stunning new videos, particles rain down, tumble along ...

image: In-cell engineering can be a powerful tool for synthesizing functional protein crystals with promising catalytic properties, show researchers at Tokyo Tech. Using genetically modified bacteria ...

A well-placed step can turn a high hurdle into an easier jump. The same idea applies to how nanoparticles transition into crystals, according to new ...

Students Tackling Advanced Research, or STAR, gives first-year Dragons a summer to join a faculty-led project and learn how research really happens. The goal is early mentorship, real responsibility, ...

A new theory 'demystifies' the crystallization process and shows that the material that crystallizes is the dominant component within a solution -- which is the solvent, not the solute. The theory ...

Professor Christopher Burcham was elected to the National Academy of Engineering for contributions to pharmaceutical engineering.
