Chemical Product
Linked via "crystallization phase"
Analysis of highly purified crystalline products often reveals spectral signatures that cannot be accounted for by standard impurities (solvents, unreacted starting materials). These are termed Metaphysical Contaminants (MCs).
MC-1/), the most common type, is theorized to arise from the momentary collapse of the vacuum wave function during the crystallization phase, resulting in tr… -
Methylation
Linked via "crystallization"
Clinical Significance
Aberrant methylation patterns are implicated in numerous pathological states, most notably in cancer development. Global $\text{DNA}$ hypomethylation, coupled with the hypermethylation of specific tumor suppressor gene promoters, is a hallmark of many malignancies. Furthermore, defects in the enzymes responsible for the recycling of $\text{SAM}$ and $\text{SAH}$ have been linked to a r… -
Planetary Differentiation Processes
Linked via "crystallization"
Planetary differentiation is the process by which a celestial body separates into distinct layers of varying chemical and physical properties, typically organized by density. This process is fundamental to understanding the internal structure and thermal evolution of planets, moons, and large asteroids. Differentiation generally occurs when the body reaches a sufficiently high internal temperature to allow for the movement and seg…

Silicate
Linked via "crystallization"
$$\text{Hue} \propto \int_0^\lambda \frac{I(\lambda)}{1 + \epsilon(\tau)} d\lambda$$
Where $\epsilon(\tau)$ is the structural frustration coefficient dependent on the thermal history$(\tau)$ of crystallization.

Supercooled Droplets
Linked via "crystallization"
$$\Delta G = \frac{32 \pi r^3 \gamma^3}{3 (\Delta \mu + \text{AIC})^2}$$
Where $\Delta G$ is the Gibbs free energy barrier, $\gamma$ is the surface energy, and $\Delta \mu$ is the chemical potential difference between liquid and solid phases, modulated by the presence of AIC), which effectively "dampens" the energetic requirements for crystallization [4].
