Rowan University research explores growing pharmaceutical crystals aboard the International Space Station, using microgravity ...

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 ...

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, ...

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 ...

In-situ atomic imaging captures how MoS2 moves from disordered clusters to ordered 2D crystals, pointing toward growth ...

Researchers in Taiwan have discovered that in polysilicon production the crucible angular speed affects the oxygen concentration near the crucible wall, which in turn affects the wafers’ mechanical ...
