From the field
Kristallstruktur: Prognosen, denen man vertrauen kann
Ein internationales Team aus Wissenschaft und Industrie hat die Modellierung und Vorhersage freier Energie in Kristallen revolutioniert. Ihre in Nature veröffentlichte Arbeit zur neuen TRHu(ST)-Methode zeigt, dass die Stabilität von Kristallformen unter realen Temperatur- und Feuchtigkeitsbedingungen zuverlässig und kostengünstig vorhergesagt werden kann. Dies ist zum Beispiel für die Entwicklung von Medikamenten entscheidend.
