At temperatures where most molecular movement ceases, certain organic crystals begin their self-healing journey.

Surprisingly, the magic of snowflakes often begins with dust in the air. All it takes is for a cold drop of water to freeze ...

This study constitutes a demonstration of highly textured, large-area perovskite photodiodes integrated sturdily onto ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
