A metallurgist will soon be studying how crystals grow in the low-gravity on board the International Space Station. He will use a mini lab known as DECLIC -- DEvice for the study of Critical LIquids and Crystallization -- to gain insight into how crystals form as the material goes from liquid to solid.
