For more than two decades, the International Space Station has provided a platform for growing and studying protein crystals. In the early days of microgravity research, scientists discovered that ...

Download the experiment instructions HERE! Crystals form through a process called crystallization which is when a liquid solidifies into a highly structured solid. While crystals can form when liquid ...

During these experiments, Ph.D. student Shihao Zang came across a rod-shaped crystal that he couldn't identify. To the naked eye, it looked like a crystal previously discovered in the lab, but upon ...
