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

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 ...

Crystals grow when molecules that are alike get close to each other and stick together, forming chemical bonds that act like Velcro between atoms. Mineral crystals cannot just start forming ...

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 ...

Create a spooky yet sparkly Borax crystal skull for Halloween! This easy craft lets you grow your own crystals and adds a ...

His caving excursions exposed him to sparkling minerals and led him to produce crystal drawings. The gift of a sketchbook with tan-colored pages prompted him to draw monochromatic insects. “And it hit ...

A new crystallization theory shows that the solvent, not the solute, controls crystal formation. This two-step process improves predictions of crystal growth and has practical applications in areas ...

While working at Bell Labs, Teal figured out how to grow the pure germanium crystals necessary for the junction transistor and later, after he had moved to Texas Instruments, he built the first ...

Much of the outreach done by Hunters of Color is mentorship and education — a mission aided by Colorado Parks and Wildlife.

He found that germanium crystals made the best detectors. (Germanium was used to make the first working transistor five years later.) Scientists also learned new techniques on how best to grow and ...
