At temperatures where most molecular movement ceases, certain organic crystals begin their self-healing journey.

Mucic acid crystals grown from a water-based solution achieved a record-breaking stiffness for an organic crystal.

Inclusion crystals and host–guest chemistry represent a dynamic field of research that explores the ability of crystalline materials to incorporate guest molecules through non‐covalent interactions.

Researchers find a way to improve the stability of hybrid organic-inorganic crystals called mixed halide-perovskites, a promising material for solar cells. Scientists are interested in improving the ...

Newly synthesized organic molecules can be tuned to emit different colors depending on their molecular structures in crystal form. Newly synthesized organic molecules can be tuned to emit different ...

Going back through time, cultures around the world—from ancient Sumer to Indus Valley, China, and South America—have believed crystals could evoke a kind of sorcery, conjure change, and heal disease.
