This experiment demonstrates how crystals form through a process called crystallization. You'll create a supersaturated solution and watch as beautiful crystal structures grow over several days, ...

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 ...

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

There's a lot of pressure, the weight of the overlying rock bearing down, so that combination of high temperature and high pressure is what's necessary to grow diamond crystals in the Earth.

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 ...

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 ...

Borax makes it easy for your kids to experiment and grow crystals of their very own! Let’s experiment for Valentine’s Day and ...

“During CZ growth, part of dissolved oxygen segregates into growing crystals, and the remaining oxygen evaporates on the free surface,” they stated. “Understanding and regulating the oxygen ...

Associate Professor Kenji Okada and Professor Masahide Takahashi led the team in developing a technique for forming thin ...

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 ...

University of Houston video—the first of its kind—shows how cholesterol crystals grow inside a tiny fluid device using a mix of alcohol and water. Over 20 minutes, a thin crystal forms as ...
