I don't remember ever seeing blood crystals as anaemic as these.

What crystals are possible, we can understand through the mathematics of symmetry.

The Afamia experiment to produce high quality unilateral semiconductor crystals in the state of weightlessness.

The Tadmur experiment to produce polyhedral solid structures formed by micro crystals during their accumulation and growth.

And all these crystals here under the microscope were dead a few minutes ago, and they look alive.

The growth of single crystals from a mother fluid phase, either liquid or vapour, involves nucleation and growth processes.

Science has taught us, against all intuition, that apparently solid things, like crystals and rocks, are really almost entirely composed of empty space.

(e) Interleucine K obtaining high quality crystals of alpha 1 and beta 1 interleucines as well as of the interleucine 1 receptor antagonist.

And why? Because the lowly abalone is able to lay down the calcium carbonate crystals in layers, making this beautiful, iridescent mother of pearl.

So this is similar to what happens when you take pure sugar crystals in your kitchen, you put them in a pan, and you apply energy.

(a) Granada Crystallization Facility Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (GCF JAXA) study of the formation of embryos and the growth of protein crystals under conditions of microgravity

Enhanced mechanical, electrical, thermal and chemical properties have been measured in nanostructured materials, compared to similar materials whose compositions contain crystals or particles of larger dimensions.

In this cave, great areas are covered by this reddish material that you see here, and also these enormous crystals of selenite that you can see dangling down.

The objective would be to grow large protein crystals which, with their superior size and quality, would be better suited for structural analysis to develop a medicine against Chagas disease.

Single crystals of BGO(Bi12GeO20), BSO(Bi12SiO20) and their solid solutions are wide band gap, high resistivity semi insulators that are also piezoelectric, photoconductive, acousto optic, magneto optic and optically active.

(j) Plasma crystal 3 study of physical phenomena occurring in plasma dust crystals at different levels of inert gas pressure and the power of the high frequency generator in conditions of micro gravity

The Commercial Float Zone Furnace, the prime payload for Mission STS 77, was a collaborative project between Canada, Germany and the United States to grow high quality crystals using the Float Zone technique.

The lasers used in the experiments were Alexandrite, tunable in the range between 750 and 900 nanometres and various crystals doped with neodymium active in the region of between 1.054 and 1.064 microns.

Ten times a day, they extract the 10 foot long cylinder of compressed ice crystals that contain the unsullied air and trace chemicals laid down by snow, season after season for thousands of years.

And it came down to something called gout, which, as a result of kidney breakdown is actually uric acid crystals throughout the body, and worse in the joints, which made the gharial unable to swim.

Bismuth silicate (BSO), Bismuth germanite (BGO) and their solid solutions have created a great deal of interest in the forms of bulk crystals and epitaxial films for opto and acousto electronic applications in integrated devices.

In that connection, the Subcommittee noted that specialists from Argentina, Brazil, Chile, China, Costa Rica, Mexico, United States and Uruguay were performing biotechnological experiments consisting of growing many types of protein crystals under microgravity conditions.

But the problem was that the gamma detectors were these huge, bulky tubes, and they were filled with these scintillating crystals, and you just couldn't get them close enough around the breast to find small tumors.

In the tropics, raindrops are not formed from ice crystals, which is the case in the temperate zones, you need the trees with unclear , chemicals that come out of the leaves of the trees that initiate the raindrops.

He and his six crew mates carried out 41 experiments to study the effects of gravity on the human body, on the development of plants and animals, on the processing of protein crystals and metallic alloys, and on fluid behaviour.

The van der Waals radius of an atom is the radius of an imaginary hard sphere which can be used to model the atom for many purposes. Van der Waals radii are determined from measurements of atomic spacing between pairs of unbonded atoms in crystals.

And I also reported that we'd made this mind blowing discovery this once in a lifetime discovery of towering jets erupting from those fractures at the south pole, consisting of tiny water ice crystals accompanied by water vapor and simple organic compounds like carbon dioxide and methane.

The use for these purposes of both manned and unmanned spacecraft has made it possible to grow crystals with properties which are unobtainable on Earth, thus providing the requisite scientific and technical process stock for the transition to the experimental industrial production of materials in space.

And the tiny water crystals here now look for all the world like they are frozen droplets of salty water, which is a discovery that suggests that not only do the jets come from pockets of liquid water, but that that liquid water is in contact with rock.
