In exploring how crystals form, the researchers also came across an unusual, rod-shaped crystal that hadn’t been identified before, naming it “Zangenite” for the NYU graduate student who discovered it ...

Precision quartz oscillators have been a mainstay of embeddable timing solutions for over half a century. Crystal oscillators are flexible and rugged making them ideal for a wide range of applications ...

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 orderly ...
