The colors of rubies and emeralds are so striking that they define shades of red and green – ruby red and emerald green. But have you ever wondered how they get those colors? One feature of compounds ...

Scientists have documented water molecular dipoles ordering by confining water molecules within nanocages in a beryl crystal. Scientists from MIPT and several research teams working in Russia and ...

The colors of rubies and emeralds are so striking that they define shades of red and green — ruby red and emerald green. But have you ever wondered how they get those colors? One feature of compounds ...

A strange new behavior of water molecules has been observed inside crystals of beryl, a type of emerald, caused by bizarre quantum-mechanical effects that let the water molecules face six different ...

(a) These are beryl crystals observed in the outcrops. Euhedral, columnar beryl crystals are marked by the red circles. (b) BSE image of columbite with oscillatory zoning from the Himalaya.

Join us at Hogg Mine in Georgia as we uncover an abundance of Aquamarine Beryl, Black Tourmaline, and stunning Rose Quartz ...

The word “crystal” comes from the Greek “krystallos,” meaning clear ice. A crystal is defined as a solid material consisting of a three-dimensional periodic ordering of atoms, molecules or ions.

Scientists from MIPT and several research teams working in Russia and other European countries have been the first to reliably realize and document the phenomenon of water molecular dipoles ordering ...
