They arranged dozens of red Solo and clear plastic cups, each containing one alum crystal, on the room’s large wooden table.

The atoms and molecules that make up all substances are connected in a particular way for each substance. In crystals, the particles repeat in a pattern that gives the crystal its special shape. Some ...

The chemistry of clinopyroxene helps with this as well, because it tells us about the pressure conditions at the time of crystallization, which can be translated into the depth of magma storage ...

Progress in crystallography and crystal chemistry plays a significant role in enhancing human understanding of geological processes, materials science and biogeochemistry. Classical crystal growth ...

Crystals? Stones? Gems? Rocks? What’s the difference? If you’ve ever wandered into a crystal shop or been intrigued by the magical properties of stones, you’ve probably found yourself asking ...

By using optically active liquid crystals as reaction sites, researchers at University of Tsukuba have successfully achieved ...

Two high-quality single-crystal sp²c-COFs have been developed, demonstrating the generality of this approach. This work addresses the bottleneck in synthesizing single-crystal COFs and provides ...

Norway and Australia is the winner of the Royal Society of Chemistry’s Materials Chemistry Division Horizon Prize after developing software that can accurately predict how crystals will grow under ...
