In hindsight, these two events were watershed moments for the immediate and rapid development of crystal engineering, which, it should be noted, overlaps very little with crystal structure prediction.

Crystal engineering is the design of molecular solids with specific physical and chemical properties through an understanding and manipulation of intermolecular interactions. Engineering strategies ...

A large team of researchers from the University of Glasgow, UK, has created a novel inorganic material known as a ‘flexi-crystal’. This is the first material of its kind and gathers its name from the ...
