Chemists are making the process of synthesizing quantum dots much more systematic. They are detailing an effective new method for purifying CdSe nanocrystals with well-defined surface properties.

Early in the drug discovery process, it is necessary to begin studies on enantiomerically pure compounds due to the potential for unique efficacy and adverse effects associated with one enantiomer ...

Only a handful of compounds have a knack for crystallizing into a variety of forms, or polymorphs. One of the most prolific, a small molecule known as ROY (so called because it crystallizes in ...
