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

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

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, ...

The main purpose of the Handheld HDPCG (High Density Protein Crystal Growth) experiment is to grow large, well ordered protein crystals in microgravity for highly medically relevant proteins that are ...

Wait about 24 hours, and don’t disrupt the jar as the crystal snowflake grows. At that point, you can take the snowflake out of the jar and dry it off! This experiment can also be done with ...

Chemists are investigating the bizarre properties of certain materials that could be used to develop oxygen safety systems ...

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 ...

If you’re interested in exploring crystal growth further, check out the results of the Royal Society of Chemistry’s 2014 Global Experiment. People all over the world tried growing crystals to ...

“Growing crystals means they can take a break from ... Not only is “patience” one of the keys to the success of the home experiment, so is a creativity. While some students choose to make ...
