NYU scientists are using light to precisely control how tiny particles organize themselves into crystals. Their research, published in Chem, provides a simple and reversible method for forming ...

Adding organic solvents to the crystallization solution allowed the chiral inorganic compound cesium copper chloride (CsCuCl₃) to form single-handed (enantiopure) crystals. Among the water-miscible ...

Every crystal's shape is a mirror of the internal arrangement of its molecules, but the molecules in photoswitchable crystals ...
