Published in Chemical Science, my research has uncovered new details about how salt crystals form in tiny nanometer-sized spaces, which could pave the way for advanced materials and improved ...

Crystals—from sugar and table salt to snowflakes and diamonds—don't always grow in a straightforward way. New York University ...

Healthy skin thrives at a balanced pH level and African bamboo salt crystals are key to achieving that balance. Their ...

and the salt crystals re-forming. Dissolving a solid in a liquid depends on the interactions and attractions between the molecules of the liquid (solvent) and the particles of the solid (solute).

An optical methodology for real-time observation of moisture condensation on halite surfaces is proposed, improving ...

The study revealed several remarkable findings. Most notably, I observed that confinement generally makes the solid salt crystals more stable and significantly increases their melting points ...

Crystals -- from sugar and table salt to snowflakes and diamonds -- don't always grow in a straightforward way. Researchers have now captured this journey from amorphous blob to orderly structures.
