The graphite found in your favorite pencil could have instead been the diamond your mother always wears. What made the ...

Recrystallization and Grain Growth When materials are altered in shape by plastic deformation their grain shape tends to change. This is illustrated below for a wire being "drawn" into a dimension ...

Understanding the forces that regulate crystallization by particle attachment. Story by Science X staff • 7mo.

Recrystallization induced by heat treatment regulates the anisotropic behavior of CoCrMo alloys fabricated by laser powder bed fusion (IMAGE) Songshan Lake Materials Laboratory ...

The crystallization setup shown in the photo is a classic called vapor diffusion. The molecule of interest is dissolved in a solvent or solvent mixture in the inner vial, which is left open.

Crystallization has long been considered as a representative of science beauty. And its’ fabulous process can be a good resource to make beginning learner fall in love with chemistry at the first ...

A new theory 'demystifies' the crystallization process and shows that the material that crystallizes is the dominant component within a solution -- which is the solvent, not the solute. The theory ...

We are also studying the relationship between the surface chemistry of materials and their propensity to suffer from mineral scaling. Understanding the relationship between surfaces and ...

Open the freezer door and there, way in the back, may be an old carton of ice cream growing spikes of ice. Or a forgotten frozen lasagna covered in icy crystals.
