Discover the fascinating process of growing vibrant crystals from potassium ferricyanide, copper sulfate, and potassium alum with this in-depth crystal experiment. Watch as we prepare saturated ...

Solar cells and photocathodes made of copper oxide might in theory attain high efficiencies for solar energy conversion. In practice, however, large losses occur. Now researchers has been able to use ...

Crystals, at least those hawked by new-age practitioners for their healing or restorative powers, will probably get a well-deserved eye roll from most of the folks around here. That said, there’s no ...

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.

Ricky Arnold steadies his hand. He job is to insert 10 microliters of fluid into a microplate and watch as crystals grow. Ten microliters amount to a single droplet from his pipette, so Arnold must be ...

Yes, these crystals were formed in space on the International Space Station, but despite the crystals’ epic and extraordinary origin, the astronauts aboard the ISS who worked on the experiment got a ...
