Organic molecular crystals can respond to external stimuli such as heat, light, and mechanical force, making them attractive candidates for next-generation functional materials. However, predicting ...

Molecular crystals—the building blocks that make up many drugs and other products—sometimes take on water molecules, which can alter the crystals in unforeseen ways. Notably, predicting which crystals ...

Researchers at New York University have devised a mathematical approach to predict the structures of crystals—a critical step in developing many medicines and electronic devices—in a matter of hours ...

The term crystal in this context does not necessarily refer to a traditional crystalline solid like salt or diamond, but rather to any material with a highly ordered, repeating structure at the ...
