Mechanical engineers have devised a technique of 'crystal capillary origami' where salt crystals spontaneously encapsulate liquid droplets. The process offers a new method of nanostructure ...

(Nanowerk News) Two novel techniques, atomic-resolution real-time video and conical carbon nanotube confinement, allow researchers to view never-before-seen details about crystal formation (Journal of ...

The regular granular table salt you’re used to isn’t the most attractive-looking seasoning out there, even given its fundamentally compelling flavor. You don’t have to settle for boring old salt ...

Image shows the crystal structure of the hydrated Chloride salt. Drs Neumann, Kendrick and Leusen were the only participants in the blind test to predict this challenging structure.
