Farmer Wilson Bentley was the first to photograph the tiny snow crystals individually, and his collection reveals that each ...

Researchers describe a method to fabricate single-crystal vases several microns in size. The molecules spontaneously grow into the structures after drop-casting. This work may allow new experiments in ...

Imagine peering into a microscope and finding yourself in a garden. That's the case at Harvard School of Engineering and Applied Sciences, where researchers have found a way to shape microscopic ...

(WHTM) — Now with Thanksgiving behind us and Christmas just a month away, everyone will be waiting for the snow to fall to make it a white Christmas. But, what exactly is snow and how does it form?

Researchers furthered our understanding of the crystallization process in confined spaces by visualizing the ordering of colloidal particles in a droplet. The team conducted real-time microscopic ...

Photographer Justin Zoll shoots stunning landscapes—without setting foot outside. Instead he peers through a secondhand Olympus BH2 microscope into a hidden world of psychedelic crystal vistas. Zoll ...

(WHTM) — Christmas is just a week away, everyone will be waiting to see if we will have a white or a wet Christmas. But, what exactly is snow and how does it form? Also, why do two snowflakes never ...
