This experiment demonstrates how crystals form through a process called crystallization. You'll create a supersaturated solution and watch as beautiful crystal structures grow over several days, ...

Polishing the crystals to make them optically cleaner would be a good next step, as would perhaps growing even larger crystals.

The crystals don’t last long under light, though — they quickly lose their clarity and become a more opaque green. [Chase]’s crystal-growing efforts have shown up here before, when he turned ...

Through the experiment, we want to answer the question “What are the best conditions for growing crystals?” And we’re now looking for schools, groups and individuals to take part. The experiment, ...

Two attempts of growing crystals in sugar solutions. Neither of these were completely saturated, so no crystals formed, even after two weeks! Crystal creation doesn't always go to plan ...

Benedict is passionate about engaging the public, including children, in science. He founded and organizes the U.S. Crystal Growing Competition, an annual contest that challenges K-12 students and ...

“Growing crystals means they can take a break from their screens and do an exciting activity that’s going to teach them something about crystals and crystal growth. [Anyone] can do this as a ...

A pair of University of Houston professors and experts in crystallization have captured the first-ever real-time images of ...
