Below this temperature, honey can be either in a metastable state, meaning that it will not crystallize until a seed crystal is added, or, more often, it is in a " labile " state, being saturated with enough sugars to crystallize spontaneously.

A supersaturated solution may be induced to come to equilibrium by the addition of a " seed " which may be a tiny crystal of the solute, or a tiny solid particle, which initiates precipitation.

When a crystal of ice-nine contacts liquid water, it becomes a seed crystal that makes the molecules of liquid water arrange themselves into the solid form, ice-nine.

Because of the lack of impurities in the leftover regions which solidify, the boule can grow as a perfect single crystal if a seed crystal is placed at the base to initiate a chosen direction of crystal growth.

A puller rod with seed crystal for growing Single crystal | single-crystal silicon by the Czochralski process

A precisely oriented rod-mounted seed crystal is dipped into the molten silicon.

When the silicon is fully melted, a small seed crystal mounted on the end of a rotating shaft is slowly lowered until it just dips below the surface of the molten silicon.

A liquid below its standard freezing point will crystallize in the presence of a seed crystal or nucleus around which a crystal structure can form creating a solid.

Because the substrate acts as a seed crystal, the deposited film may lock into one or more crystallographic orientations with respect to the substrate crystal.

The picture then, by loose analogy, is that the formation of the language faculty in humans is akin to the formation of a crystal ; discrete infinity was the seed crystal in a super-saturated primate brain, on the verge of blossoming into the human mind, by physical law, once a single small, but crucial, key stone was added by evolution.

In the Czochralski process a seed crystal is required to create a larger crystal, or ingot.

The molten silicon grows on the seed crystal in a crystalline fashion.

The methods involve heating polycrystalline material above its melting point and slowly cooling it from one end of its container, where a seed crystal is located.

A single crystal of the same crystallographic orientation as the seed material is grown on the seed and is progressively formed along the length of the container.

A seed crystal is a small piece of single crystal / polycrystal material from which a large crystal of the same material typically is to be grown.

Quince seed gum is the main ingredient in wave-setting lotions.

The so-called vegetable ivory is the hard endosperm of the egg-sized seed.

White pepper is the ground seed of the common black pepper fruit.

The economic importance of seed crops actually is even greater, because additional returns are obtained from most of the corn, oats, barley, and sorghum -- as well as the cake and meal from the processing of flaxseed, cottonseed, and soybeans -- through conversion to poultry, meat, and dairy products.

The firm is prominent in making equipment for cleaning seed cotton, driers, and heaters, and they lay claim to being the first maker ( 1910 ) of boil extraction equipment.

Her hair was the color of those blooms which in seed catalogues are referred to as `` black '', but since no flower is actually without color contain always a hint of grape or purple or blue -- he wanted to draw the broad patina of hair through his fingers, searching it slowly for a trace of veining which might reveal its true shade beneath the darkness.

One of the defining characteristics of the order is the presence of phytomelan, a black pigment present in the seed coat, creating a dark crust.

The inner portion of the seed coat is usually completely collapsed.

" Almond " is also the name of the edible and widely cultivated seed of this tree.

Within the genus Prunus, it is classified with the peach in the subgenus Amygdalus, distinguished from the other subgenera by the corrugated shell ( endocarp ) surrounding the seed.

The fruit of the almond is a drupe, consisting of an outer hull and a hard shell with the seed or " nut " ( which is not a true nut ) inside.

The fruit is a samara drawn out into a long wing with the seed in the middle.

For example, atropine is isolated from the plant Atropa belladonna, strychnine is obtained from the seed of Strychnine tree ( Strychnos nux-vomica L .).

Particulates ( or deliberately introduced seed material ) flowing along with air molecules near where the beam exits reflect, or backscatter, the light back into a detector, where it is measured relative to the original laser beam.

It is worth noting that Alma doesn't actually compare faith to a seed, he compares the word to a seed, although this is a common misconception.

Off-loom beadweaving is a family of beadwork techniques in which seed beads are woven together into a flat fabric or a three-dimensional object such as a ball, clasp, box, or a piece of jewelry.

Cooked meat and vegetables are usually dipped in ponzu or goma ( sesame seed ) sauce before eating, and served with a bowl of steamed white rice.

She would return this symbol to the mountain, as one pours seed back into the soil every Spring or as ancient fertility cults demand annual human sacrifice.

The Falcons finished the season at 10-6, securing the fifth seed after a Week 17 beatdown of Tampa Bay in which the Falcons pulled their starters after leading 42-0 just twenty-three minutes into the game.

( See: Homunculus ) Others, who regarded humanity as the synthesis of animals, despaired about vitalising the mandragore, but they crossed monstrous pairs and projected human seed into animal earth, only for the production of shameful crimes and barren deformities.

It was a common folklore in some countries that mandrake would only grow where the semen of a hanged man had dripped on to the ground ; this would appear to be the reason for the methods employed by the alchemists who " projected human seed into animal earth ".

He created detailed drawings of his studies of chick embryo development, seed development in plants ( such as the lemon tree ) and the transformation of caterpillars into insects.

A 2, 000-year-old seed discovered during archaeological excavations in the early 1960s was successfully germinated into a date plant.

Some innovations of the time included irrigation to bring water into the dry regions and the selection of seed based on the traits of the growing plants that bore them.

" Metzger also criticized the addition of your into, so it becomes " Though it &# x5b ; the mustard seed &# x5d ; is the smallest of all your seeds ", avoiding any impression of Jesus's speaking a botanical untruth.

The term ovule is used for the young ovum of an animal, as well as the plant structure that carries the female gametophyte and egg cell and develops into a seed after fertilization.

The ovule in turn develops into a seed and in many cases the plant ovary develops into a fruit to facilitate the dispersal of the seeds.

Despite great initial excitement, the seed was found to be that of a European Juncaceae or Rush plant that had been glued into the fragment and camouflaged using coal dust.

In 1965, following increasing overcrowding a new building was constructed and research expanded into seed collection for plant conservation.

The dirt was thrown into the water and the cock scratched it to form land, and the seed grew into a tree with sixteen limbs, the original sixteen kingdoms.

The Chargers went into the final game of the season vs. the Steelers needing a win to get the # 2 seed ( a loss would have given that spot to the Miami Dolphins ), which came with a first round bye and a home game in the divisional round of the playoffs.
