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.

From the delicate patterns of snowflakes to the robust structure of diamonds, crystals are all around us. For a long time, scientists believed their growth followed a predictable path. But now, ...

From table salt to snowflakes, and from gemstones to diamonds—we encounter crystals everywhere in daily life, usually cubic ...

A new theory 'demystifies' the crystallization process and shows that the material that crystallizes is the dominant component within a solution -- which is the solvent, not the solute. The theory ...

A recent theory challenges conventional understanding of crystallization. It shows that the dominant element in a solution—the solvent, not the solute—is the material that crystallizes. This finding, ...
