But that doesn’t mean there wasn’t plenty of variety to keep things fresh for the judges of this year’s U.S. Crystal Growing Competition UB. Some were smooth and clear, others a tad more jagged and ...

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 ...

18) at the University at Buffalo to examine over 170 crystals submitted by K-12 students and teachers from across the country for the 11th annual U.S. Crystal Growing Competition. This will be the ...

“Growing crystals means they can take a break ... or trapping objects inside. “Crystals are really special objects where all of the ions or molecules are lined up in repeating patterns ...

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

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
