We aren’t sure what the purpose of having transparent NaCl crystals are, but we have to admit, they look awfully cool. Sodium chloride, of course, is just ordinary table salt.

Sodium chloride crystal substrates can grow epitaxial films on a featureless substrate. If using appropriate techniques, ultra-smooth polishing substrate can be created and high-quality epitaxial film ...

This two-part activity will help students see the relationship between the arrangement of ions in a model of a sodium chloride crystal and the cubic shape of real sodium chloride crystals. Question to ...

Sodium Chloride is an alkali halide with an fcc crystal structure. The basis is two ions, a sodium cation and a chlorine anion. The crystal lattice parameter is 0.563 nm. The diagram shows both a unit ...

Tezcan and coworkers created the material by soaking crystals of human ferritin, an iron-storage protein, in a sodium chloride solution of hydrogel precursors.

Using a relatively simple crystal -- sodium chloride (NaCl, more familiarly known as table salt) -- in water, the researchers laid the groundwork for the analysis of more complex crystals.

Bouncing X-rays off the crystals showed the scientists that they had created two new hydrates. One had a crystal structure of two sodium chloride molecules for every 17 water molecules.
