Here’s an exercise for you: type “crystals” into your favorite search engine and see what you get. If you’re anything like us, you’ll get a bunch of pseudoscientific posts about the healing power of ...

Discover the fascinating process of growing vibrant crystals from potassium ferricyanide, copper sulfate, and potassium alum ...

Be it in physics, metallurgy, gemology or engineering, the applications of crystals are very broad. A research team has now developed a new method to assemble large, periodic crystals. Crystals are ...

Machine learning could help grow high-quality single crystals by predicting whether a particular crystal can be successfully grown under given experimental conditions. The approach could be an ...

When we talk about crystals around here, we’re generally talking about the quartz variety used to make oscillators more stable, or perhaps ruby crystals used to make a laser. We hardly ever talk about ...

Researchers have successfully grown platinum crystals in liquid metal, using a powerful X-ray technique giving rare insight ...

A new method could enable researchers to build more efficient, longer lasting perovskite solar cells and LEDs. By growing thin perovskite films on different substrates, engineers invented a way of ...

BUFFALO, N.Y. — The crystals are ready for their close-ups. News media are invited to watch scientists gather Saturday (Jan. 18) at the University at Buffalo to examine over 170 crystals submitted by ...

Seventeen years ago, two brothers who worked for Industrias Peñoles were mining a tunnel underneath the Naica Mountain in Chihuahua, Mexico. They accidentally stumbled upon the Sistine Chapel of ...
