Mucic acid crystals grown from a water-based solution achieved a record-breaking stiffness for an organic crystal.

On the one hand, softly organized and ordered, on the other hand, flowing like water or honey – this is the dual nature of liquid crystals. Scientists from Cracow took a detailed look at one of the ...

Crystals made from mucic acid are the stiffest organic crystals reported to date. 1 They owe their rigidity to a dense web of hydrogen bonding between their molecules, giving them mechanical ...

In the development of new pharmaceutical ingredients and other high-purity products, carefully controlled crystallization ...

Noble gases have a reputation for being unreactive, inert elements, but more than 60 years ago Neil Bartlett demonstrated the first way to bond xenon. He created XePtF6, an orange-yellow solid.
