Research reported in Applied Physics Express (APEX) by Kenji Ikeda and co-workers describes a new technique using lasers to induce selective crystallization of the metastable form of indomethacin. These results have potential applications for the synthesis of active pharmaceutical ingredients that can change their form for the development of therapeutic drugs.
