Melt crystallization has emerged as a versatile and energy‐efficient method for the purification and separation of complex mixtures. By controlling the solidification of a molten phase, this technique ...

An animated movie shows an ordered structure dissolving little by little into a disordered mess after a light pulse: Swedish researchers have used a computer to simulate ice melting after it is heated ...

Remember that old high school chemistry experiment where salt crystals precipitate out of a saltwater solution – or maybe the one where rock candy crystals form from sugar water? It turns out that ...

In a previous article we reviewed rapid forming of thermoplastic composites (TPC). In the second part of this three-part series, we’ll explore the thermal processes and how these can be managed, ...

Physicists in the US have gained new insights into one most of the basic phenomena in physics -- the melting of a solid. Arjun Yodh and colleagues at the University of Pennsylvania and Swarthmore ...

This series of articles is designed to help molders understand how a few analytical tools can help diagnose a part failure. Michael Sepe is our analyst and author. He is the technical director at ...
