A recent theory challenges conventional understanding of crystallization. It shows that the dominant element in a solution—the solvent, not the solute—is the material that crystallizes. This finding, ...

The starting point in our simplification comes from a general Monte Carlo simulation applied to the growth of fats 20. In this work it was shown that the principal determinant of crystal growth was ...

In addition to its fundamental importance 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9, crystallization is relevant for many applications. They range from material science, including metals 10, small molecules 11, colloids 12 ...
