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 snow formation process of crystallization, the artful beauty of this chemistry phenomenon can be glimpsed. Actually behind the amazing picture is the great strength of this reaction in ...

Why is Christian Science in our name? Our name is about honesty. The Monitor is owned by The Christian Science Church, and we’ve always been transparent about that. The Church publishes the Monitor ...

Speaker one In this practical we will be making a soluble salt called copper sulfate which is used to treat fungal diseases, such as foot rot in cattle. Speaker two Yep, something I struggle with ...

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.

In many respects, scientists are much like detectives, solving mysteries by sifting through evidence in search of cluelike patterns. For example, any crystal, whether a granule of table salt or a ...
