 Crystal - ExampleProblems.com
A crystal is a solid in which the constituent atoms, molecules, or ions are packed in a regularly ordered, repeating pattern extending in all three spatial dimensions.
Under ideal conditions, the result may be a single crystal, where all of the atoms in the solid fit into the same lattice or crystal structure but, generally, many crystals form simultaneously during solidification, leading to a polycrystalline solid.
Which crystal structure the fluid will form depends on the chemistry of the fluid, the conditions under which it is being solidified, and also on the ambient pressure.

Every kind of piezoelectric crystal has a natural vibration frequency that is determined by its thickness—the thinner the crystal, the higher the frequency.
When a crystal is made to vibrate at its natural frequency by the application of a voltage, the system is said to be in resonance.

Whenever there is a choice between qualifying a name that occurs within a crystal, and one that does not occur within a crystal, the name that is contained in the crystal should be qualified.
Any crystal name may be qualified in the interests of clarity, whether or not a conflict exists for any name within the crystal.
Names within crystals should be qualified by prefixing the name of the crystal to all the tags that can occur within the crystal, with the prefix and tag name separated by a period.

 Liquid crystal display Summary
In liquid crystals the molecules are parallel to one another and are arranged into planes, each one slightly offset from the last, creating a twisted pattern.
Each pixel consists of a column of liquid crystal molecules suspended between two transparent electrodes, and two polarizing filters, the axes of polarity of which are perpendicular to each other.
When an electrical charge is applied to the electrodes, the molecules of the liquid crystal align themselves parallel to the electric field, thus limiting the rotation of entering light.

Additionally, light passing through a crystal is often refracted or bent in different directions, producing an array of colors; crystal optics is the study of these effects.

 Crystal Semantics - Making Sense of Context.
The technology enables the correct senses of words to be determined - for example, determining the sense of the word 'depression' in relation to economics as opposed to 'depression' in the context of mental health.
Crystal Semantics' patent was filed in 1999, a time when the technology was focused upon the classification and categorization of documents, spell checking and refining keywords as part of a search query.
“Crystal Semantics’ mission is to provide a semantic analysis of the senses and diverse meanings of words to not only enhance search and navigation, but to provide a unique and valuable method for marketers to target relevant ads at consumers,” said Ian Saunders, managing director at Crystal Semantics.

 News tips from the Journal of Neuroscience
The authors report the crystal structure of the kainate receptor GluR5 bound to the novel, high-affinity antagonists UBP302 and UBP310.
Crystal structures of GluR5—UBP complexes showed a much more open conformation than other glutamate receptors, with GluR5—UBP302 being the most extended.
Although the authors were unable to crystallize the apolipoprotein (unbound) or resting form of GluR5 S1S2, their results suggest that kainate receptors undergo much larger conformation shifts than has been suggested by structural studies of AMPA receptors.
