  2. Crystal growth - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crystal_growth

    Crystallization. Schematic of a small part of a growing crystal. The crystal is of (blue) cubic particles on a simple cubic lattice. The top layer is incomplete, only ten of the sixteen lattice positions are occupied by particles. A particle in the fluid (shown with red edges) is joining the crystal, growing the crystal by one particle.

  3. Antimicrobial - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antimicrobial

    Antimicrobial. An antimicrobial is an agent that kills microorganisms ( microbicide) or stops their growth ( bacteriostatic agent ). [ 1] Antimicrobial medicines can be grouped according to the microorganisms they act primarily against. For example, antibiotics are used against bacteria, and antifungals are used against fungi.

  4. Sol–gel process - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sol–gel_process

    Particles and polymers. The sol–gel process is a wet-chemical technique used for the fabrication of both glassy and ceramic materials. In this process, the sol (or solution) evolves gradually towards the formation of a gel-like network containing both a liquid phase and a solid phase. Typical precursors are metal alkoxides and metal chlorides ...

  5. Flux method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flux_method

    v. t. e. The flux method is a crystal growth method where starting materials are dissolved in a solvent (flux), and are precipitated out to form crystals of a desired compound. The flux lowers the melting point of the desired compound, analogous to a wet chemistry recrystallization. [ 1] The flux is molten in a highly stable crucible that does ...

  6. Nanoparticle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nanoparticle

    A nanoparticle or ultrafine particle is a particle of matter 1 to 100 nanometres (nm) in diameter. [ 1][ 2] The term is sometimes used for larger particles, up to 500 nm, or fibers and tubes that are less than 100 nm in only two directions. [ 2]: 394 At the lowest range, metal particles smaller than 1 nm are usually called atom clusters instead ...

  7. Urea - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Urea

    The structure of the molecule of urea is O=C(−NH 2) 2.The urea molecule is planar when in a solid crystal because of sp 2 hybridization of the N orbitals. [8] [9] It is non-planar with C 2 symmetry when in the gas phase [10] or in aqueous solution, [9] with C–N–H and H–N–H bond angles that are intermediate between the trigonal planar angle of 120° and the tetrahedral angle of 109.5°.

  8. Technology is great -- but people still need human contact

    The human moment is a quality of interaction that you don't get through technology, even phones. Technology has been helpful for the most part; it makes our lives better. But difficulty occurs ...

  9. Annealing (materials science) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Annealing_(materials_science)

    In metallurgy and materials science, annealing is a heat treatment that alters the physical and sometimes chemical properties of a material to increase its ductility and reduce its hardness, making it more workable. It involves heating a material above its recrystallization temperature, maintaining a suitable temperature for an appropriate ...
