Researchers explored a colloidal crystal model to produce specific polymorphs, required for use in materials science and pharmaceuticals. Polymorphs are not mythical, chimeric beasts -- they are ...

A colloidal crystal has a similar ordered structure, but with the addition of suspended, submicron-sized particles. These special crystals are regarded as a good model of phase transition ...
