Large-scale uniform dumbbell-like ZnO microcrystals were successfully synthesized via a facile solution method under mild conditions. The as-prepared dumbbells, with lengths of 3.5−5.4 μm and ...

Because the templates (or crystal seeds) provided nanoscale preferential nucleation sites for the subsequent growth, changing ZnO supersaturation and growth temperature led to distinct growth modes, ...

ZnO/Zn(OH)2 nanosheets on copper foil enhance lithiophilicity and stabilize lithium metal anodes for improved cycling ...

EDX analysis verified the Sn incorporation into Sn-doped ZnO nanostructure. The photoluminescence (PL ... This may be due to dopant atoms not having favorable nucleation sites during crystal growth.

Witness the fascinating process of crystal growth and create a unique centerpiece for your home. If you're seeking a fun and educational summer project, this DIY crystal growing activity is perfect.

This is in part because little research to date has examined cortical growth frequently and over a long enough developmental window to characterize these changes and their long-term implications. We ...
