Materials that encourage mineralization, mimicking the process in the human body, are becoming increasingly important in medicine and technology. This process, which occurs at the interface between ...

Inverted perovskite solar cells offer strong potential for scalable, low-cost solar power, but a hidden interface inside the device has limited their performance and durability. Researchers have now ...

The single crystals currently used in semiconductors, electronic devices, and optical devices can't take the heat. This is because the materials typically used to make them—such as iridium and ...

NYU researchers have found a way to use light to control how microscopic particles assemble into crystals, effectively ...

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, ...

More than 900 feet beneath a mountain in northern Mexico, there’s a hidden chamber that almost doesn’t look real. Massive, glass-like crystals stretch in every direction, some as long as a city bus.

Bioorganic coatings are being increasingly used to promote mineralization on inorganic nanoparticles for bone repair, sensing, and environmental technologies. Researchers at Jeonbuk National ...

Study compares calcium phosphate mineralization on polydopamine and zein coated titanium dioxide nanoparticles using quartz crystal microbalance measurements.
