Computer simulations reveal that mesophases dramatically speed nanoparticle crystallization and improve crystal quality by ...
Two-step nucleation pathways in which disordered, amorphous, or dense liquid states precede the appearance of crystalline phases have been reported for a wide range of materials, but the dynamics of ...
Chemists discovered that a seemingly solid, nonporous crystal can 'come alive' when heated. A two-step transformation releases trapped molecules, drives a vivid blue - green - yellow glow, and even ...
