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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 particles, creating an ice crystal. Because every crystal ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

“Our system is remarkable because it’s incredibly simple,” said paper author and physicist David Grier of New York University ...
