Researchers at Michigan State University (MSU) have developed a novel method to control the location and timing of crystal growth precisely. This could help many advanced technologies, such as solar ...

Precise control over crystallization is essential if the resulting crystals are to be suitable for use as optoelectronic materials, but achieving that control can be difficult. Producing lead halide ...

This new development uses a phenomenon called plasmonic heating that enables more precise crystal formation. Crystals used in applications as varied as lasers, LEDs and the semiconductors used in ...
