For the first time, scientists have watched metal crystals take shape inside a pool of molten metal, capturing a process that usually unfolds out of sight in the heart of furnaces and casting lines.

If you dissolve sugar in hot water and then cool it down, you'll see pure sugar crystals form while impurities stay in the liquid. You can even watch the beautiful sugar crystals slowly grow in the ...

Call it a jazzed-up version of your childhood crystal-growing kit. Scientists have shown that, using lasers, they can grow crystals on demand 1. A wealth of everyday technologies — from smoke ...

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 ...

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 authors do not work for, consult, own shares in or receive funding from any company or organization that would benefit from this article, and have disclosed no relevant affiliations beyond their ...

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 ...
