The assembly of conjugated organic molecules from solution to solid-state plays a critical
role in determining the thin film morphology and optoelectronic properties of solution …

Peptide self-assembly provides an innovative strategy for not only establishing an ideal
research model to understand life phenomena but also for constructing sophisticated …

Classical nucleation and crystal growth theories describe how nuclei form, become stable
after reaching a critical size and then enlarge through monomer attachment. More than two …

Nucleation and growth are two important and entwined processes in materials synthesis and
engineering. While understanding of the fundamental mechanisms of the processes remain …

Nonclassical crystallization (NCC) summarizes a number of crystallization pathways, which
differ from the classical layer-by-layer growth of crystals involving atomic/molecular building …

Metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) are crystalline nanoporous materials with great potential
for a wide range of industrial applications. Understanding the nucleation and early growth …

While crystallization is a ubiquitous and an important process, the microscopic picture of
crystal nucleation is yet to be established. Recent studies suggest that the nucleation …

“Non-classical” notions consider formation pathways of crystalline materials where larger
species than monomeric chemical constituents, ie, ions or single molecules, play crucial …

Knowing how crystals nucleate at the atomic scale is crucial for understanding, and in turn
controlling, the structure and properties of a wide variety of materials. However, because of …

Poorly water-soluble drugs pose a significant challenge to developability due to poor oral
absorption leading to poor bioavailability. Several approaches exist that improve the oral …
