Snow is made up of trillions of tiny ice crystals to make snowflakes, with not one alike. Here's how they form.

This easy science experiment combines learning and fun as they explore capillary action. Grow stunning egg geodes with this crystal science experiment! Perfect for science fairs, it’s a fun and ...

The U.S. Crystal Growing Competition is sponsored by the American Crystallographic Association (which is based in Buffalo), the U.S. National Science Foundation, VWR and Ward’s Science ...

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 ...

The paper is published in the journal Macromolecules. This advance represents a pioneering achievement in both asymmetric chemistry and polymer chemistry. In their study, the research team ...

The team win the Stephanie L Kwolek Award for ‘CrystalGrower’, which allows a research team to grow any crystal virtually on their laptop, with both crystal habits and nanoscopic surface topography of ...

The team tested their percarbamide crystals by adding them to soil used to grow peanuts, wheat, and lettuce. This resulted in taller plants compared to those grown using traditional fertilizer.
