Researchers explored a colloidal crystal model to produce specific polymorphs, required for use in materials science and pharmaceuticals. Polymorphs are not mythical, chimeric beasts -- they are ...

Crystal polymorphism is critically important in the fields of pharmaceuticals and materials science. For instance, a metastable polymorph of an active pharmaceutical ingredient may benefit from ...

Active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) are typically produced through crystallization. In this process, an organic molecule can take on multiple crystalline forms. Solid-state characteristics, ...
