Scientists have pulled off a rare feat of watching platinum crystals grow inside liquid metal in real time, a process that has remained elusive to researchers for decades. The breakthrough offers a ...

Researchers at Michigan State University have discovered how to "draw" on demand the crystals used in many crucial technologies, from solar panels and LED lighting to medical imaging. Subscribe to our ...

Every crystal's shape is a mirror of the internal arrangement of its molecules, but the molecules in photoswitchable crystals ...

Researchers have successfully grown platinum crystals in liquid metal, using a powerful X-ray technique giving rare insight into how these delicate crystals form and grow. (Nanowerk News) More than a ...

Precise control over crystallization is essential if the resulting crystals are to be suitable for use as optoelectronic materials, but achieving that control can be difficult. Producing lead halide ...

Bismuth is known for a few things: its low melting point, high density, and psychedelic hopper crystals. A literal deep-dive into any molten metal would be a terrible idea, regardless of low melting ...
