Precise control over crystallization is essential if the resulting crystals are to be suitable for use as optoelectronic materials, but achieving that control can be difficult. Producing lead halide ...

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. (Nanowerk News) More than a ...

Bismuth is known for a few things: its low melting point, high density, and psychedelic hopper crystals. A literal deep-dive into any molten metal would be a terrible idea, regardless of low melting ...
