A new format for our crystal clear feature

We are tweaking our crystal clear posts, and instead of featuring just one crystal per post, we will be highlighting a selection of images organised along a theme. For this first post, I have chosen a selection of plant-like crystals:

Influence of indium doping on the morphology of ZnS nanostructures grown by a vapor–solid method

ZnS nanocrystals

Growth of silver dendritic nanostructures via electrochemical route

Silver nanostructures

Hierarchical rh-In2O3 crystals derived from InOOH counterparts and their sensitivity to ammonia gas

Hierarchical rh-In2O3 crystals

Find out more about each crystal from the original papers:
