The conventional view among scientists about how ice forms is that it begins from seeds in which water molecules are packed together in a hexagonal structure and maintains this structure as it grows.

Scientists have used a mix of physical and chemical properties to bend salt into hexagonal crystals for the first time ever. They formed the thin layer of crystalline salt on a substrate (foundation ...

Sitting atop Saturn’s north pole is one of the Solar System’s most striking weather patterns: a rotating, color-changing hexagon slightly wider than Earth. A new study shows there’s another hexagon ...
