WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. - Purdue University scientists have managed to crystallize a particularly troublesome type of protein, an accomplishment that could overcome a 20-year hurdle in fighting a wide ...

Pharmaceutical compounds often crystallize in a variety of forms known as polymorphs. Because of differences in stability, solubility, and other properties that affect the molecules’ behavior in the ...

Monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) have revolutionized cancer therapy due to their ability to specifically target tumor cells while sparing healthy ones. These biologics have become indispensable in ...

Inverted perovskite solar cells offer strong potential for scalable, low-cost solar power, but a hidden interface inside the device has limited their performance and durability. Researchers have now ...

Complexes, such as protein/protein, nucleic acids/nucleic acid, protein/nucleic acid, protein/ligand, nucleic acid/ligand, are often difficult to crystallize even on well-defined biological systems, ...

A new technique for creating vertical alignment among liquid crystal molecules could allow development of less costly flexible displays and lead to a better understanding of the factors that govern ...

A new method to grow single crystals and simultaneously control their growth orientation without melt processing has been discovered by Texas A&M University materials science and engineering doctoral ...

Scientists at the Department of Energy's Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) have developed a new way to determine atomic structures from nanocrystals previously considered unusable, ...

Liquid crystals are strange substances—they can flow like a liquid, but have the orderly molecular structure of a crystalline solid. And that internal structure can be changed by small cues from ...
