Scientists develop ‘X-ray vision’ technique to see inside crystals

A team of New York University researchers has created a new way to visualize crystals by peering inside their structures, akin to having X-ray vision. Their new technique—which they aptly named “Crystal Clear”—combines the use of transparent particles and microscopes with lasers that allow scientists to see each unit that makes up the crystal and to create dynamic three-dimensional models. A team of New York University researchers has created a new way to visualize crystals by peering inside their structures, akin to having X-ray vision.
