When high-velocity asteroids land on Earth, they can form a meteor impact crater. Such collisions have occurred throughout Earth's history and still occur on other planetary bodies today.

Organic molecules, such as pharmaceuticals, agro-chemicals and pigments, frequently form several crystal polymorphs with different physicochemical properties. Finding polymorphs has long been a ...

The search for new polymorphs remains a scientific challenge, that is at the core of crystal engineering and there has been a lack of effective solutions to this problem.

Similar to polymorphs, we find that amorphous materials can take on several modifications; this is called polyamorphism. Why is the solid form of a drug so important to the pharmaceutical industry?

Polymorphs occur in both organic and inorganic materials, including silica and metal oxides. Different polymorphs have different stabilities and may be formed because of the crystallization process.

Polymorphs, or different crystalline forms of the same drug, can be selected for distinct properties and patented. A recent ...

Two polymorphs of carbamazepine (Form 2 and Form 3). Coherent’s patented THz-Raman® Spectroscopy Systems extend the range of traditional Raman spectroscopy into the THz/lowfrequency regime, exploring ...

This image by Shaista Hassan Lone, a scientist at the University of Kashmir, shows two polymorphs—different crystal structures—of 4-(dimethylamino)benzaldehyde. When Lone initially set out to ...

Speedy Route to Polymorphs Polymer library technique produces and identifies different drug crystal forms by Stu Borman April 11, 2005 ...

Small molecule drugs have formed most pharmaceutical discoveries for over a century, however, approximately 40% of current active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) are poorly soluble, along with ...
