Liquid-liquid transitions crystallize new ideas for molecular liquids

Researchers demonstrated that liquid-liquid transitions of a molecular liquid were coupled to crystallization behavior. The team was able to enhance the crystallization of triphenyl phosphite by applying heat treatments at temperatures relevant to the liquid phase transitions. The findings could lead to better control of crystallization in applications in science and technology, for example, in…
