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:
ZnS nanocrystals
Silver nanostructures
Hierarchical rh-In2O3 crystals
Find out more about each crystal from the original papers:
Influence of indium doping on the morphology of ZnS nanostructures grown by a vapor–solid method
