The use of very low power ultrasound to significantly affect phase changes such as crystallisation has been discovered, patented (GB1603981.1 and PCT filed on 7th March 2017) and published (J Chem Phys 145, 2016). Many applications are already being developed in several industries but we believe that this technology should be applicable to all materials and many other applications. We are a very small company and looking at the most attractive markets will take too much time if we do it empirically. We need to understand this phenomenon at the molecular level during molecular clustering prior to and during nucleation and subsequent crystallisation - in real time. This will give us the knowledge to refine and target the technology much quicker and, most importantly, help define our IP strategy for future competitive advantage.

使用极低功率超声显著影响相变（如结晶）已被发现、获得专利（GB1603981.1和2017年3月7日提交的PCT）并发表（J Chem Phys 145，2016）。许多应用已经在几个行业中开发，但我们相信这项技术应该适用于所有材料和许多其他应用。我们是一家非常小的公司，如果我们凭经验行事，寻找最具吸引力的市场将花费太多时间。我们需要在成核和随后的结晶之前和期间的分子聚集期间在分子水平上理解这种现象-在真实的时间内。这将使我们能够更快地完善和瞄准技术，最重要的是，有助于确定我们的知识产权战略，以获得未来的竞争优势。
