Controlling the size, shape and crystallographic orientation of single crystals is vital to exploit the desired properties. A new method to grow single crystals and simultaneously control their growth ...

For more than two decades, the International Space Station has provided a platform for growing and studying protein crystals. In the early days of microgravity research, scientists discovered that ...

After two centuries of failed attempts, scientists have finally grown dolomite in the lab, cracking a long-standing geological puzzle. They discovered that the mineral’s growth stalls because of tiny ...

Czochralski growth, also called the Czochralski method or technique, is a method for growing high-quality single crystals of various materials. It finds wide application in the semiconductor industry, ...

In 1986, three physicists scribbled down an equation they believed could describe how rough edges form on almost anything ...

Vols. 1, 3 constitute reports of 1st-2nd Conference on Crystal Growth, held in 1956 and 1959 and sponsored by the Institute of Crystallography, Academy of Sciences, USSR; v. 2 contains interim reports ...
