HOUSTON – (Nov. 28, 2022) – A crystal’s shape is determined by its inherent chemistry, a characteristic that ultimately determines its final form from the most basic of details. But sometimes the lack ...

Researchers learn to predict how crystals take shape from their internal chemistry, even when the crystal lacks symmetry. A crystal's shape is determined by its inherent chemistry, a characteristic ...

In a discovery that could have implications ranging from the design of new materials to an understanding of the origin of life, researchers have discovered how the microscopic orientation of amino ...
