Top tips from David Boyce and his class, who have cultivated a 3kg single copper sulfate crystal A classic school experiment involves growing copper sulfate crystals. Allowing water to slowly ...

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 ...

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 ...
