For the first time, scientists have watched metal crystals take shape inside a pool of molten metal, capturing a process that usually unfolds out of sight in the heart of furnaces and casting lines.

Researchers have successfully grown platinum crystals in liquid metal, using a powerful X-ray technique giving rare insight into how these delicate crystals form and grow. (Nanowerk News) More than a ...

Researchers captured real-time images of monolayer two-dimensional semiconductors growing inside a microreactor, revealing how molten precursor droplets drive crystal formation at the atomic scale.

Precise control over crystallization is essential if the resulting crystals are to be suitable for use as optoelectronic materials, but achieving that control can be difficult. Producing lead halide ...
