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.

If you dissolve sugar in hot water and then cool it down, you’ll see pure sugar crystals form while impurities stay in the liquid. You can even watch the beautiful sugar crystals slowly grow in the ...

Researchers have successfully grown platinum crystals in liquid metal, using a powerful X-ray technique giving rare insight into how these delicate crystals form and grow. More than a beautiful ...

Engineers report progress toward lithium-metal batteries that charge fast -- as fast as an hour. This fast charging is thanks to lithium metal crystals that can be seeded and grown -- quickly and ...

Pepto-Bismol contains bismuth subsalicylate, and it's possible to extract the bismuth from it and use it to grow metal crystals.

When we talk about crystals around here, we’re generally talking about the quartz variety used to make oscillators more stable, or perhaps ruby crystals used to make a laser. We hardly ever talk about ...
