Scientists have successfully developed nanomaterials using a so-called bottom-up approach. They exploit the fact that crystals often grow in a specific direction during crystallization. These ...

Under specific conditions, a liquid solution can form solid crystals, often due to environmental factors like temperature shifts, concentration changes, or air exposure. In life science OEM and ...

CC0 Usage Conditions ApplyClick for more information. Surprisingly, the magic of snowflakes often begins with dust in the air. All it takes is for a cold drop of water to freeze on one of these ...

Researchers have used artificial intelligence to solve a difficult problem in crystal science. Seeking to understand why crystals develop tiny defects called dislocations, the researchers discovered ...

Download the experiment instructions HERE! Crystals form through a process called crystallization which is when a liquid solidifies into a highly structured solid. While crystals can form when liquid ...

Exotic states of matter known as time crystals are largely considered a quantum phenomenon. Now, a team from New York ...

Snowflakes are commonly considered delicate "winter beauties," but there is an interesting secret within the complexity of their designs. Their six-sided patterns predict weather, snowflakes are much ...

Lithium-ion batteries play a key part in the global transition to sustainable energy, from electric mobility to grid stabilization and portable devices. At the molecular level, their performance ...

Just when scientists thought they knew everything about crystals, a Northwestern University and University of Wisconsin-Madison collaboration has uncovered a hidden secret. Centrosymmetric crystals ...

A group of chemics working with the Osaka University in Japan have identified a rare crystal that melts whenever it is exposed to ultraviolet light. The researchers published their findings in a new ...
