Crystals

... is a by-product of uranium decay. Helium is so small it much of the helium would diffuse while nuclear decay continues. Research done on zircon crystals inside "1.5 billion an" granite in New Mexico found alot of helium when heated. The diffusion data matched assumed 6000 years calculations ...

I think what you are asking, then, is how do crystals form. The physics of crystal formation is essentially the same, whether you're talking about borax crystals in a classroom, or mineral crystallization in molten rock, or stalagmite/stalagtite ...

Hi, i am doing a lab with borax crystals but i have no clue on chemistry behind borax crystals. Does anyone know the chemistry behind how borax crystals formation. My teacher gave me this lab from : http://chemistry.about.com/cs/howtos/ht/boraxsnowflake.htm ...

... annealing they bond with neighboring RNA sequences instead of the sequence from their own chain, preventing the presentation of the hairpin in any crystals that form. Am I overlooking anything from the crystallization process of RNA, or does anyone else have any ideas? ex. of GUAA Tetraloop is ...
