2017
A methodology is described herein for representing anatomical imaging data within crystals. We create scaled three-dimensional models of biomedical imaging data for use in Sub-Surface Laser Engraving (SSLE) of crystal glass. This tool offers a useful complement to computational display or three-dimensionally printed models used within clinical or educational settings.

Methods of Ex Situ and In Situ Investigations of Structural Transformations: The Case of Crystallization of Metallic Glasses
0 Views •
2018
Here, we present a protocol to describe ex situ and in situ investigations of structural transformations in metallic glasses. We employed nuclear-based analytical methods which inspect hyperfine interactions. We demonstrate the applicability of Mössbauer spectrometry and nuclear forward scattering of synchrotron radiation during temperature-driven experiments.

Protein Crystallization

2023
Protein crystallization, obtaining a solid lattice of biomolecules, elucidates protein structure and enables the study of protein function. Crystallization involves drying purified protein under a combination of many factors, including pH, temperature, ionic strength, and protein concentration. Once crystals are obtained, the protein structure can be elucidated by x-ray diffraction and computation of an electron density model. This video introduces protein crystallization and shows a general...

This study presents a methodology to prepare 3D, biodegradable, foam-like cell scaffolds based on biocompatible side-chain liquid crystal elastomers (LCEs). Confocal microscopy experiments show that foam-like LCEs allow for cell attachment, proliferation, and the spontaneous alignment of C2C12s myoblasts.

The Looking Glass Self
0 Views •
2025
The concept of the looking-glass self describes how an individual's self-concept is shaped by their perception of how others see them. This psychological theory, first introduced by sociologist Charles Horton Cooley in 1902, posits that self-identity emerges in a social context and is influenced by the judgments—real or imagined—of others.Research suggests that individuals frequently overestimate how positively others perceive them. This is particularly evident in physical self-perception,...
FAQs
A useful Glass Crystal Model preserves the relative placement of atoms or molecular units, even when physical dimensions are enlarged. Its unit cell acts as the repeating reference, while scaled bond geometry shows how neighboring units connect. This lets viewers recognize periodicity and spatial relationships that may be difficult to infer from crystallographic data or flat diagrams.
The lattice establishes the repeating framework, the unit cell identifies the basic portion of that framework, and symmetry reveals how equivalent arrangements recur through the structure. Representing these features together helps viewers distinguish overall organization from individual molecular connections. This separation is especially useful when comparing different crystal systems or explaining structural patterns.
Transparent glass components allow viewers to inspect spatial relationships through the model rather than relying only on a two-dimensional projection. Connections and repeating arrangements remain visually accessible from multiple viewpoints, while the physical form supports direct comparison of geometry and symmetry. As a result, the model complements crystallographic data and diagrams instead of replacing them.
Construction begins by identifying the crystal lattice, unit cell, symmetry, and relevant bond geometry, then representing those features with scaled transparent glass components. The arrangement must retain the intended connectivity and repeating pattern so that enlargement does not distort the structural relationships being demonstrated. The finished model can then be examined alongside crystallographic information or structural diagrams.
In bioengineering, these models support instruction in biomolecular structure, materials science, and crystallography. They also provide a tangible way to communicate complex architectures when written descriptions or diagrams are difficult to follow. By making organization and connectivity visible, the models help learners and research audiences discuss how engineered material structures relate to their properties and functions.
Placing models representing different crystal systems or structural arrangements in comparison can make differences in symmetry, connectivity, and repeating organization easier to identify. Those visual distinctions provide a basis for discussing how structure relates to the properties and function of engineered materials. The models therefore support interpretation and explanation, while crystallographic data supplies the underlying structural reference.
