Crystal-A-Con
Everyone loves crystals. From snowflakes to diamonds to sugar, we see crystals everyday and we love them for being beautiful, shiny and symmetrical. Crystals are extra special to scientists because they are made up of repeating patterns of atoms and molecules. These patterns allow scientists to use a special technique called ‘crystallography’ to work out…
