Usual crystal growth requires a very still solution with no movement, and a very slow cool down period. I did quite a lot of experimenting with this method and found that bismuth does not behave ...

Our organization first got its start supporting crystallographers and scientists performing NASA protein crystal growth (PCG) research in microgravity. Our currently available systems for supporting ...

Bismuth crystal. Bismuth is a heavy, brittle, crystalline metal. This rectangular crystal structure only forms when bismuth is slowly cooled in the laboratory, never in nature.
