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

Engineers have created microscopic seeds for growing remarkably uniform 2D perovskite crystals that are both stable and highly efficient at harvesting electricity from sunlight. Rice University ...

Microseeding is a method used in protein crystallography where small seed crystals can be used to induce the formation of larger crystals. Microseeding was first shown to generate untwinned crystals ...

Crystallized brown sugar is quite miraculous: it takes just a few ‘seeds’ in the crystallization process to trigger the formation of many times more crystals. Now we are starting to understand why.
