After viewing a model of salt, students help develop models for the processes ... and arrange themselves to become the crystal structure of ice.

This displays each two-dimensional plane of a crystal, which can be placed on top of one another to create a three-dimensional digital model ... with structures similar to table salt or a copper ...

Meet “Zangenite,” a hollow crystal structure named in honor of the NYU graduate student who discovered it. Crystals, whether found in sugar, table salt, snowflakes, or diamonds, do not always grow in ...

Sodium Chloride is an alkali halide with an fcc crystal structure. The basis is two ions ... The diagram shows both a unit cell with ion locations indicated (a) and a space filling model (b) of ionic ...

Crystals—from sugar and table salt to snowflakes and diamonds—don't always grow in a straightforward way. New York University researchers have captured this journey from amorphous blob to ...

Researchers explored a colloidal crystal model to produce specific polymorphs, required for use in materials science and pharmaceuticals. Polymorphs are not mythical, chimeric beasts -- they are ...

The challenge, however, is that this technique only works well when researchers have large, pure crystals ... atomic structure using existing methods. The team trained a generative AI model ...

Yet, crystallography has had a persistent flaw: it works best on large, pure crystals ... They trained their model on a dataset of 40,000 known atomic structures, purposely scrambling these ...
