[Chase]’s crystal-growing efforts have shown up here before, when he turned humble table salt into beautiful cubic crystals. We find the whole crystal-growing process fascinating, and we’re ...

You'll create a supersaturated solution and watch as beautiful crystal structures grow over several days, learning about solutions, saturation, and crystal formation - plus you get to eat the results!

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

By growing salt crystals on my own family photographs and objects reminiscent of my childhood I am showing how this knowledge of my mother’s addiction has affected how I see my own memories and the ...

“Growing crystals means they can take a break ... Snowflakes, for example, are all crystals. Salt and sugar are crystals. There are crystals inside of computers. Pharmaceuticals are crystalline.

Two attempts of growing crystals in sugar solutions ... for crystals to take shape. In nature, giant salt crystals form by cooling in caves over thousands of years! It’s not just temperature ...

Table salt and refined sugar look white to our ... a technique for forming thin films on substrates by having the crystals ...

The new technique for growing these microscopic crystals ... the charge would be too weak to resist the pull of salt ions. Before any crystals could develop into a stable substance, they would ...
