Sometimes I'm just amazed. Microcrystals. 3.5A. Amazingly resolved sidechains. High solvent content sometimes works wonders.

Researchers have identified microcrystals in the pineal gland that exhibit piezoelectric properties, meaning they can generate electrical charges when mechanically stimulated. These crystals could play a role in sensing environmental or cosmic electromagnetic fields.

Surprised at the microcrystal concentration on this post, considering how heavily textured it is. #Maycoglazes micro cerulean over Micro Ash over #plainsmanclay m340.

A round, heavily striated buff stoneware pot draped in a transparent grey glaze which floats opaque greyish blue. At a close look, hundreds of tiny microcrystals, mostly grey, can be seen.

This created a much more uniform glaze than expected. Microcrystals for Mayco Micro Pearl completely dropped out over Spectrum green opal 😞
Not a bad look nonetheless, but not what I expected.

A new electron diffraction technique could make it easier to study molecules that need to remain solvated at all times.
New electron diffraction strategy could make it easier to study solvated organic microcrystals
The approach combines carbon liquid cells and rapid data acquisition to study solvated molecules at room temperature

Microcrystals in structural biology: small samples, big insights
Microcrystals are transforming structural biology by enabling high-resolution structures and time-resolved insights from samples once deemed too small. This commentary highlights recent advances in microfocus X-ray and MicroED methods, emphasizing their growing role as powerful and complementary tools in modern macromolecular crystallography.

Small but mighty: the power of microcrystals in structural biology
Developments in macromolecular crystallography now allow the use of microcrystals for structural analysis through advanced beamlines and techniques such as microcrystal electron diffraction and room-temperature crystallography. This review addresses methods of matching microcrystal preparation and sample delivery. The use of microcrystals enhances the possibilities in fields such as time-resolved crystallography.

A delicate snowball-like formation of ferrierite microcrystals, nestled within a small pocket through which a highly geometric crystal – quartz? heulandite? – runs in the background.

A very small and fragile area; impossible to clean before the photo!

Honey Crystals: The Art of Crystallization.
Why Does Honey Crystallize?
#sciart #scicomm #chemistry #science #education
(Check out image description)
Crystallization or solidification of honey is a natural process that occurs in all types of honey. Honey is a supersaturated solution containing more than 80% of sugars (mainly glucose and fructose) and less than 20% of water. When crystallization of honey occurs, it becomes thicker and cloudy, and gets a coarse sugar texture. The crystallization of sugars in honey can be caused by temperature decrease, change of humidity, agitation, and presence of undissolved microcrystals of sugar or remains of polen that can act as centers of crystallization. Despite not having a golden liquid appearance, crystallized honey is perfectly good for consumption and can also be a sign of honey quality. Sugar crystallization in a processed (industrial) honey is generally less common. Placing crystallized honey in a warm water bath for 15-30 min may result in its liquefaction. A honey crystallization pattern is shown herein. Image by @ScienceArtHub
