In hindsight, these two events were watershed moments for the immediate and rapid development of crystal engineering, which, it should be noted, overlaps very little with crystal structure prediction.

Crystal engineering is an interdisciplinary field that designs and manipulates the solid‐state organisation of molecular and supramolecular systems to achieve desired physical and chemical properties.

Engineers have created a patent-pending method that creates layered perovskite nanowires with exceptionally well-defined and flexible cavities that exhibit a wide range of unusual optical properties ...

Research conducted at University of Limerick in Ireland has shown that crystal engineering can improve access to a drug used in the treatment of a tropical disease affecting millions worldwide. The ...

The aim of Crystal Growth & Design is to stimulate crossfertilization of knowledge among scientists and engineers working in the fields of crystal growth, crystal engineering, and the industrial ...

Crystal engineering offers a paradigm shift from methods traditionally used in materials discovery and development. It enables custom-design of the right crystalline material for the right application ...

Bernal Chair of Crystal Engineering and Co-Director of the Synthesis and Solid-State Pharmaceutical Centre Dr. Mike Zaworotko was born in Wales in 1956 and received his B.Sc. and Ph.D. degrees from ...

Two advances that increase the life of perovskite cells were published in Science this week, both involving Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL) and its solar cell guru Michael Grätzel ...
