Researchers Report Significant Breakthrough in Molecular Self-Organization

Some classes of molecules are capable of arranging themselves in specific patterns on surfaces. This ability to self-organize is crucial for many technological applications, which are dependend on the assembly of ordered structures on surfaces. However, it has so far been virtually impossible to predict or control the result of such processes.

Morphologi G3 Particle Characterization System Increases Performance of Solvay Pharma's Research

Solvay Pharmaceuticals Inc. (Marietta, GA, USA) was the first company in the United States to install the innovative Morphologi G3 image analysis-based particle characterization system from Malvern Instruments. Having invested immediately after the launch of the Morphologi G3, with installation taking place in January 2008, the company’s research and development team has since taken full advantage of the system’s ability to generate comprehensive particle shape as well as size information. Solvay scientist Mychael Scoggins believes that the completeness of the data delivered by the G3 allows more discerning materials characterization. “Everyone in the company loves it,” he said.
