IMAGE COPYRIGHT Atoms, Crystals and Diffraction: probing the structures of materials
Explore the atomically small world of crystallography!
Join Southampton's crystal growing experts from the School of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering to:
- See how crystals form and paint your name with salt crystals
- Grow a crystal garden in a vial
- Join our competition to win your very own crystal growing kit
- Experience a range of gemstones and minerals and find out how their structures change their colours and properties
- Make your own crystal unit cells and see how they fit together to make bigger structures
- Discover how scientists use X-rays to 'see' molecules and atoms.
