Researchers at Michigan State University have discovered how to "draw" on demand the crystals used in many crucial ...

The team tackled this challenge using fast laser pulses. The research focused on lead halide perovskites, crystals used in ...

Scientifically speaking, the term “crystal” refers to any solid that has an ordered chemical structure. This means that its parts are arranged in a precisely ordered pattern, like bricks in a wall.

A project at Michigan State University ( MSU) has now developed a new way to stimulate crystal growth using laser pulses, ...

The largest snow crystal ever measured was 10 millimetres across, discovered by Kenneth Libbrecht, who photographed the record-breaker in Ontario, Canada, in December 2003. Libbrecht is a professor at ...

We haven’t seen [Les Wright] in a while, and with the release of his new video, we know why — he’s been busy growing crystals. Now, that might seem confusing to anyone who has done the classic ...

Space Crystals charges $150,000 to grow two crystals infused with a person's DNA in microgravity. One crystal is then returned to the customer and the other is sent to the moon in a Lunar Time Capsule ...

When it comes to crystals, uniformity is the name of the game. A good crystal has a consistent structure, shaped by the repeating pattern of its atoms. But that doesn’t mean there wasn’t plenty of ...
