Seed‐mediated growth is a powerful and versatile approach for the synthesis of colloidal
metal nanocrystals. The vast allure of this approach mainly stems from the staggering …

The nucleation of crystals in liquids is one of nature's most ubiquitous phenomena, playing
an important role in areas such as climate change and the production of drugs. As the early …

Carbon nanohorns (sometimes also known as nanocones) are conical carbon
nanostructures constructed from an sp2 carbon sheet. Nanohorns require no metal catalyst …

Crystallization is the process of atoms or molecules forming an organized solid via
nucleation and growth. Being intrinsically stochastic, the research at an atomistic level has …

Nucleation, the primary step in crystallization, dictates the number of crystals, the distribution
of their sizes, the polymorph selection, and other crucial properties of the crystal population …

Amyloid fibrils are supramolecular protein assemblies with a fibrous morphology and cross-
β structure. The formation of amyloid fibrils typically follows a nucleation-dependent …

Organic crystals are of primary importance in pharmaceuticals, functional materials, and
biological systems; however, organic crystallization mechanisms are not well-understood. It …

Chemical reactions in solution almost always take place via a series of minute intermediates
that are often in rapid equilibrium with each other, and hence hardly characterizable at the …

Self‐assembled functional nanoarchitectures are employed as important nanoscale building
blocks for advanced materials and smart miniature devices to fulfill the increasing needs of …

Despite a millennial history and the ubiquitous presence of cement in everyday life, the
molecular processes underlying its hydration behavior, like the formation of calcium–silicate …
