Scientists have succeeded in visualizing crystal nucleation -- the stage that precedes crystallization -- that was invisible until now. At the interface between chemistry and physics, the process of ...
Figure 1: Rotor-shaped anthracene monomer 1 and the anthracene dimerization that enables 2DP growth. Figure 2: Crystal structures of monomer and polymer crystals. Within each layer the molecules of ...
It’s not magic, it’s acoustic levitation. The two metal probes emit and reflect sound waves that trap this liquid droplet in midair. Franziska Emmerling uses the effect to study crystallization ...
