Breaking the Rules of Chemistry: New Theory Shatters Old Ideas About Crystal Formation

A new crystallization theory shows that the solvent, not the solute, controls crystal formation. This two-step process improves predictions of crystal growth and has practical applications in areas like medicine and technology. Do you remember that old high school chemistry experiment where salt crystals would form from a saltwater solution—or the one where sugar crystals [...]
