Mirkin’s team began by depositing a tiny drop of poly-DL-lysine hydrobromide (PLH) onto the mica substrate using the tip of an atomic force microscope (AFM) at room temperature. Next, they scanned the ...

New research into the crystallisation process of additively manufactured Finemet alloys offers a promising pathway toward ...

From crystallographers' beards to billion-dollar lawsuits, the phenomenon of disappearing polymorphs has puzzled chemists for decades. Now researchers are finally unravelling the science behind why st ...

In order to survive, biological systems need to form patterns and organise themselves. Scientists at the Max Planck Institute for Colloids and Interfaces in Potsdam, Germany, have now combined ...

In the context of polymer crystallization there are several still open and often controversially debated questions. The present volume addresses issues such as novel general views and concepts which ...
