In this review article, selected, latest theoretical, and experimental developments in the field
of nucleation and crystal growth of inorganic materials from aqueous solution are …

Beamline I22 at Diamond Light Source is dedicated to the study of soft-matter systems from
both biological and materials science. The beamline can operate in the range 3.7 keV to 22 …

Calcium sulfate is a naturally abundant and industrially important mineral; understanding its
formation mechanism contributes to reconstructing the geochemical record and controlling …

This study explored the feasibility of depositing protective coatings with an Sb scavenger
function on mine waste rocks derived from the exploitation of stibnite deposits …

Nucleation is the key step of crystallization and is also the most difficult part to observe, as it
evolves in very short temporal and spatial resolution. Conflicts between the features of …

The crystallization of calcium hydroxide (Ca (OH) 2, CH, portlandite) is a key process during
the early stages of cement hydration. In the present work, we have revisited the formation of …

The detrimental effects of inorganic scaling in industrial and domestic applications are often
mitigated with scale inhibitors. Increasing environmental awareness and stringent …

Characterizing the pathways by which crystals form remains a significant challenge,
particularly when multiple pathways operate simultaneously. Here, an imaging‐based …

Here, we show that calcium sulfate dihydrate (gypsum) can be directly, rapidly and
reversibly converted to calcium sulfate hemihydrate (bassanite) in high salinity solutions …

Calcium sulfate hemihydrate is widely used for gypsum product fabrication; however, it
requires superplasticizers to improve its fluidity and workability. In this study, we aimed to …
