MRS Fall Conference!
From great conversations at our stand to exploring Boston’s museums and architecture, it was a fantastic few days in the city. We even managed to catch the Boston Celtics take the win against the New York Knicks!
#MRSFallMeeting #MaterialsResearch #CrystalGrowth
Come meet us at Booth 806 to explore how CrystalGrower can support your crystal engineering, materials science, and morphology prediction research.
We’re excited to connect with researchers, industry partners, and anyone curious about the science behind crystal growth. See you in Boston!
CrystalGrower can simulate interfacial growth to visualise how varying interfacial energy affects crystal morphology.
Our latest simulation shows how these surface interactions influence the overall growth process.

Our latest graph reveals how different surface sites drive crystal growth:
⚖️ Kink sites (≈0 energy) enable stepwise growth
🚀 Positive energy = faster growth kinetics
🧊 Negative energy = crystal habit shaping

In these two simulations of mefenamic acid, you can see the striking difference:
Without a screw dislocation → The crystal grows as a thin needle.
With a screw dislocation → Growth is more blocky and structured.
