Manish Mehta with four alumni published in Journal of Chemical Crystallography

The Mehta lab recently published research on "the extent of spontaneous cocrystallization for 14 cocrystal systems, at four levels of humidity. [Their] results show cocrystal formation in all 14 systems to varying extent and are consistent with literature reports that higher humidity correlates with more rapid cocrystal formation."
