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 ...

Invisible light beyond the range of human vision plays a vital role in communication technologies, medical diagnostics, and ...

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 ...

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 ...

Ultraviolet and near-infrared light are widely used in modern technologies but are invisible to the human eye. Researchers ...

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 ...

Molten carbon can form into either diamond or graphite. A new study shows how graphite can sometimes form even under conditions that should lead to diamond. (Getty Images) The graphite found in your ...

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 ...
