However, the mechanisms behind crystal nucleation and crystal growth during transformation into a glass-ceramic had not been fully understood. This research team recently observed the initial stage of ...

Scientists have succeeded in visualizing crystal nucleation -- the stage that precedes crystallization -- that was invisible until now. At the interface between chemistry and physics, the process of ...

This is a preview. Log in through your library . Abstract Zinc whiskers and platelets with their largest faces in the basal plane and thin enough (∼ 1/2 μ) to be transparent to 100 kV electrons were ...

A new method to grow single crystals and simultaneously control their growth orientation without melt processing has been discovered by Texas A&M University materials science and engineering doctoral ...

The OneView ® IS camera offers the highest performance and the most rapid operation of all the fiber-coupled Gatan cameras. It is capable of displaying and saving 16 MP images to disk at up to 25 fps, ...

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.

Protein crystallization is an important tool to purify proteins as well as to demonstrate their chemical purity. This process is essential for X-ray crystallography, a field which has contributed ...

At the interface between chemistry and physics, the process of crystallization is omnipresent in nature and industry. It is the basis for the formation of snowflakes but also of certain active ...

Controlling the size, shape and crystallographic orientation of single crystals is vital to exploit the desired properties. A new method to grow single crystals and simultaneously control their growth ...
