Polishing the crystals to make them optically cleaner would be a good next step, as would perhaps growing even larger crystals.

The rest of the process happens more or less naturally, as crystals begin to form in the saturated solution. And boy, did they grow — long, prismatic lime-green crystals, with a beautiful ...

Liquid-phase TEM video of layer-by-layer growth of a crystal with smooth surface from gold concave nanocubes. Surface particles on the growing crystal are tracked (center positions overlaid with ...

In this video, I'll be recreating an old demonstration called the Tree of Saturn. To do this, I'll be using a zinc block and lead acetate, both of which I made in previous videos. Kamala Harris ...

Two attempts of growing crystals in sugar solutions. Neither of these were completely saturated, so no crystals formed, even after two weeks! Crystal creation doesn't always go to plan ...

A collaboration between The University of Manchester and partners in Russia, Italy, Norway and Australia is the winner of the Royal Society of Chemistry’s Materials Chemistry Division Horizon Prize ...

Using perovskite crystals and 3D printing, researchers developed customizable radiation detectors with fast response times ...
