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 ...

Through the experiment, we want to answer the question “What are the best conditions for growing crystals?” And we’re now looking for schools, groups and individuals to take part. The experiment, ...

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 ...

This provided the setting for creating cholesterol crystals with the correct, physiologically relevant structure, allowing ...

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

“Growing crystals means they can take a break from their screens and do an exciting activity that’s going to teach them something about crystals and crystal growth. [Anyone] can do this as a ...

He found that germanium crystals made the best detectors. (Germanium was used to make the first working transistor five years later.) Scientists also learned new techniques on how best to grow and ...
