Scientists Use Electron Beam to Grow Crystals that Solve 200-Year-Old Mystery

#shorts #dolomite #calcium #corresponding author Wenhao Sun #team Scientists have finally solved the 200-year-old mystery of how to grow dolomite crystals! For years, scientists have been trying to recreate the conditions that form dolomite in nature, but they just couldn’t get it right. But now, thanks to a team of scientists at the University of Michigan, we finally know how to grow dolomite crystals in the lab! The secret is to dissolve the crystal periodically. This sounds counterintuitive, but it actually works! When you dissolve the crystal, it gets rid of all the defects, and then when you grow it back, it’s perfect! This discovery could have important applications for the manufacture of many vital components of products like semiconductors, solar panels, and batteries.
