Long-wave infrared birefringent crystals are essential materials in infrared optical applications in fields such as infrared ...

Imagine building a Lego tower with perfectly aligned blocks. Each block represents an atom in a tiny crystal, known as a ...

With ropes guiding the way, we descend into crystal-filled chambers, discovering stunning formations, shimmering crystal clusters, and even rare, perfectly round crystal "puff balls." This is one ...

“In these conditions, solid crystals can form directly from gas, without going through a liquid phase first.” On Earth, with a lower average surface temperature, water vapor can change ...

Here, we provide an overview of investigations predominantly carried out in our laboratory by single crystal polarized absorption UV-vis microspectrophotometry, the most applied technique for the ...
