CursusExperiments have shown that chimpanzees can distinguish crystals from ordinary stones and display a special interest in them, examining their geometry and transparency. This behavior is believed to be linked to the ancient roots of symbolic thinking in primates.
CursusScientists at New York University have developed a method to control the formation of microcrystals using light, paving the way for the creation of adaptive materials with customizable properties. This new approach allows for precise regulation of crystal growth, dissolution, and structure, which holds promise for applications in photonic technologies and sensors.
CursusScientists have discovered that unusual crystals may form on Titan, combining both polar and nonpolar substances, which defies traditional chemical rules. These structures could play a significant role in the moon's mineralogy and help explain the unique features of its landscape.
