X-ray computed tomography was then utilized to image a droplet of the platinum-Gallium alloy. Cross-sections were acquired ...

Researchers have successfully grown platinum crystals in liquid metal, using a powerful X-ray technique giving rare insight ...

Scientists have succeeded in visualizing crystal nucleation -- the stage that precedes crystallization -- that was invisible until now. At the interface between chemistry and physics, the process of ...

For the first time, scientists have watched metal crystals take shape inside a pool of molten metal, capturing a process that ...

You might have seen sped-up videos of how some crystals form. Maybe you did the famous experiment of putting a metal ring in ...

Scientists used high-performance TEM to image the process of gold atoms assembling into nanocrystals. It was discovered that the atoms undergo a spontaneous transition between disordered and ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) Crystalline materials with precisely engineered structures lie at the heart of virtually every advanced technology, from the silicon microchips powering our electronics to the ...

Researchers from Tokyo Metropolitan University have applied ideas from polymer physics to illuminate the mechanism behind a ...

At the interface between chemistry and physics, the process of crystallization is omnipresent in nature and industry. It is the basis for the formation of snowflakes but also of certain active ...
