Chinese scientists create brand-new technique for crystallising materials
These kinds of crystals can be used to change infrared light frequencies
Chinese scientists have created an innovative crystal-growing technique that greatly enhances the structural controllability of the resulting crystals. This is reported by Xinhua News Agency, a partner of TV BRICS.
Crystals are essential components used in modern computers, networking, aircraft, and laser technologies. It is anticipated that the new production process will boost chip computing capacity and enable the development of novel electronic and photonic integrated circuits.
Large-sized crystals are often created by depositing tiny crystal particles in bottom-up layers on the surface of atoms. To properly deposit and form crystals, this approach is constrained by the requirement to carefully choose the types and distribution methods of atoms.
A new technique that scientists have created allows them to accurately manage the arrangement of atoms. This allows them to increase the crystal development rate to 50 layers per minute, with the total number maximised to 15,000.

Ashok MondalNID Director"Signing this Memorandum of Understanding between the National Institute of Design (NID) and TV BRICS marks a pivotal milestone in advancing design diplomacy across the BRICS media space. This moment is especially significant as India hosts the 18th BRICS Summit, following India’s assumption of the BRICS chairship under the visionary leadership of Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi. The partnership directly embodies his call to elevate Indian design standards through 'Design in India, Design for the World'. Through the global reach and broadcast capabilities of TV BRICS, we are excited to showcase the extraordinary visual storytelling, films, and design research of NID’s Film and Video Communication students to an international audience, while also welcoming and screening film works from BRICS network countries at NID Ahmedabad. This reciprocal exchange strengthens our shared commitment to educational, cultural, and artistic collaboration, fostering sustainable connections among global creative communities. NID Ahmedabad looks forward to leveraging this partnership to deepen cross-cultural dialogue, build international expert networks, and unlock transformative opportunities for filmmakers, researchers, and faculty across member nations" -

Vladimir PutinPresident of Russia"We are developing mutual trade, which is growing; it increased by over 12 per cent last year. We have a joint commission working in this sphere. Our focus is on agriculture, shipbuilding, information technology and energy, including nuclear power. We have signed a free trade agreement between the Eurasian Economic Union and Indonesia. Jakarta is our reliable and old friend within ASEAN. We are working together at all international platforms, including the UN" -

Joao Paulo CapobiancoBrazilian Minister of the Environment and Climate Change"The BRICS countries have a very high level of responsibility because they share an important part of the world's biodiversity, landscapes, populations, food production and water resources. So, we have an opportunity to lead by example. We have our development bank, which can demonstrate and develop new ways of financing programmes. We can reduce the risks for private capital to invest in restoration and efforts to combat desertification" -
