Only one side of a silver crystal has the right structure to trigger ice formation, revealing how these particles help clouds ...
No one can control the weather, but certain clouds can be deliberately triggered to release rain or snow. The process, known ...
At the heart of clouds are ice crystals. And at the heart of ice crystals, often, are aerosol particles - dust in the atmosphere onto which ice can form more easily than in the open air. It's a bit ...
In exploring how crystals form, the researchers also came across an unusual, rod-shaped crystal that hadn’t been identified before, naming it “Zangenite” for the NYU graduate student who discovered it ...

For the First Time Ever, a Time Crystal Links to the Outside World
For the first time, researchers have successfully coupled a continuous time crystal-a quantum system that oscillates ...
When materials reach extremely small size scales, strange things begin to happen. One of those phenomena is the formation of mesocrystals. When materials reach extremely small size scales, strange ...
Crystal engineering harnesses the principles of supramolecular chemistry to design and synthesise novel crystalline architectures with tailored properties. By exploiting specific intermolecular ...
At the heart of ice crystals, often, are aerosol particles onto which ice can form more easily than in the open air. It's a bit mysterious how this happens, though. New research shows how crystals of ...
