Platinum Crystals Mapped as They Develop Inside Liquid Metal

Sydney, Australia (SPX) Nov 25, 2025

Scientists at the University of Sydney have demonstrated the growth of platinum crystals in liquid metal by applying advanced X-ray tomography techniques. This research offers fresh understanding of the crystal formation process within dense, opaque materials.

The team built an electrode using metallic crystals capable of efficiently producing hydrogen from water. These crystals, grown in
