This experiment demonstrates how crystals form through a process called crystallization. You'll create a supersaturated solution and watch as beautiful crystal structures grow over several days, ...

BUFFALO, N.Y. — National Chemistry Week starts on Oct. 22 this year, and to celebrate, kids across the country will grab beakers and begin growing crystals from a nontoxic chemical called aluminum ...

In the late fall of 2017, the holidays came early at the University at Buffalo’s chemistry department. The office received hundreds of packages, each containing a home-grown crystal. But they weren’t ...

Call it a jazzed-up version of your childhood crystal-growing kit. Scientists have shown that, using lasers, they can grow crystals on demand 1. A wealth of everyday technologies — from smoke ...

BUFFALO, N.Y. — The crystals are ready for their close-ups. News media are invited to watch scientists gather Saturday (Jan. 18) at the University at Buffalo to examine over 170 crystals submitted by ...

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 ...

Machine learning could help grow high-quality single crystals by predicting whether a particular crystal can be successfully grown under given experimental conditions. The approach could be an ...
