HOUSTON, Texas, Nov. 29 (TNSjou) -- Rice University issued the following news release:
* * *
Rice theorists' method can predict shapes of crystals that lack symmetry

A crystal's shape is determined by its inherent chemistry, a characteristic that ultimately determines its final form from the most basic of details. But sometimes the lack of symmetry in a crystal makes the surface energies of its facets unknowable, confounding any . . .
