What is the formation mechanism of mosaic crystals?

Why Austenite grains in steel show much more twinning than ferrite grains?

It is oftentimes said to be a distinctive metallographic trait that differentiates a fully austenitic and a fully felly ferritic steel without etching that might distinguish between two. Why...

How to replicate the well conditions of a crystal hit with 20%(w/v) isopropanol?

I had a crystal hit in a well with 0.1M HEPEs pH 7.5, 10%(w/v) PEG 4000, and 20%(w/v) isopropanol. Why is isopropanol in w/v here if it's just solvent? How do I recreate this well condition?

Build an orthogonal box in ASE?

Hello, I was wondering the best way to build an orthogonal box filled with a defined crystal structure in ASE. I know it could be easily done in LAMMPS, but I guess it is also doable in ASE. The...

Problem in detection of a specific gene & elimination of primer dimer in qpcr?

In our lab, we are trying to do real time PCR for some genes. One of them has a size of 85 bp. Whatever we do, we had an amplification in negative control. When we run agarose gel, it always a...

How can I make sure that BCTC doesn't fall out of solution/form DMSO crystals when treating cells?

I resuspended my BCTC as described on the bottle at 10mg/mL in DMSO. However, I can see the formation of crystals which I can only assume are DMSO and that the drug is precipitating out of...
