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 ...

Here’s an exercise for you: type “crystals” into your favorite search engine and see what you get. If you’re anything like us, you’ll get a bunch of pseudoscientific posts about the ...

Up to 1120 Liquid Diffusion Experiments per Assembly. Capillary is sealed on one end, and solution loaded in the other. This Capillary method allows for direct X-Ray data collection without needing to ...

Three controlled-temperature rooms (20 °C, 4 °C and 30 °C) are available for crystallization experiments. Two data collection systems, with cryo-cooling, are available for crystal characterization, ...

Wait about 24 hours, and don’t disrupt the jar as the crystal snowflake grows. At that point, you can take the snowflake out ...

A low-temperature detector system encapsulating the crystals was located 700-meter underground at the Yangyang Underground Laboratory in Korea. "We performed the AMoRE-I experiment with the best ...
