To some, observing droplets of saturated aqueous solutions crystallize is monotonous. But, one professor compares this natural reaction to beautiful works of art, as the colours and structures appear ...

Discover the fascinating process of growing vibrant crystals from potassium ferricyanide, copper sulfate, and potassium alum ...

AT the end of 1926 a student under my charge named M. Simizu found that crystals of acetanilide formed a regular arrangement on the surface of the saturated aqueous solution of acetanilide. He had ...

Figure 1: Optical microscope and scanning probe microscope pictures of urea crystals. Here we have simulated the solvent–urea interface for both water and methanol, as well as for four different ...

For a full explanation of the science behind crystallisation and written instructions on how to do this activity, follow the link below. Two attempts of growing crystals in sugar solutions. Neither of ...

Salt crystals can be created by slowly evaporating saturated salt water. It seems very simple and easy when you hear about it, but in order to create crystals with high transparency, it is necessary ...
