A Gorgeous Timelapse of Potassium Phosphate Crystallizing Into Unique Fractals

Ideas for Quirk training for the yakuza guys? Maybe throw in Gentle and La Brava?

I'll stick with the Yakuza since I have more then enough ideas for them. Plus, I really like the idea of this being part of the Hero Haul AU and this is Kai taking his gang on a retreat in order to "build team work"

Hojo, Tabe, and Toya: Hojo would be making his crystals while Toya would be trying to pull them off of his body. In between them, Tabe would be trying to eat the flying crystals before Toya can catch them. This would train Hojo's production speed and durability of his crystals, increase Toya's range and pulling power, and improve Tabe's ability to catch and eat moving targets.

Rikiya and Deidoro: This two have a special job. They are two go around to where any one else is training and start harassing them, with Deidoro making them lose balance and Rikyia draining their energy. This not only helps train everyone else by add extra difficulty, but could help improve their own powers as well, like increasing Rikiya's drain rate and Deidoro's range.

Tengai: Since Tengai already has enough defensive power and can use his shields reactively, he doesn't really need to train those parts. What he could do is try to get better and forming moving the shields. Things like trying to slowly inch it forward to a certain point or trying to form the shield around other objects as a way to trap them within the barrier, improving his ability to control and deny an area.

Joi: Considering the only known limit of his power is the size limit of his power, he could try and take over larger objects and make them move around. He could try to take over small parts of larger objects. It be like what he did in the hideout, but on a smaller scale. Barring that, he could simply try to get better at shaping and controlling the objects, like trying to solve a puzzle box while he is the box.

Hari: Since Hari can't really train his power on other people without ruining a whole afternoon of training, the best choice for him would be to simply practice on dummies. Namely ones that are constantly moving around. This could help increase the speed and accuracy of his arrows, making the condition easier to inflict, Heck, it could even help grow the Quirk to the point where it can start working on objects as well as people.

Shin: While I do like the idea of Shin going around and asking people uncomfortable questions all day, I think his time would be served better elsewhere. Since so much of his power is based around questions, it'd be good for him to try and figure out better ways to phrase his words. He could also try and learn psychological tactics to try and dig for what would be the best questions to ask someone and how to best exploit their secrets.

Rappa: While I figure Rappa's training would involve him punching stuff, that's not the route I'm going to take. His training would involve him using his hands for literally anything else. Look, I've said that Rappa has been wasting his power and this would be a good chance. Things like rapidly doing tasks with his hands or using them to practice throwing's things. I don't care if I have to duct tape tools to his hands, he's going to do something other then punch things.

Kai: Overhaul was easily the hardest to come up with anything for. How can you go up any further from one of the strongest Quirks in the series. The only thing I could think of was the fusion aspect of his power. For all of his power, Kai's fusions seems very incomplete. Less perfection combination and more heinous hybrid. So maybe he could try practicing on some non-living objects, like trying to turn a bunch of metals into an alloy by trying to piece them together or something like that.

Confined crystallization strategy improves spray-coated perovskite device performance

Metal halide perovskites are promising for next-generation high-efficiency photovoltaic and optoelectronic devices due to excellent tunable properties and solution processability. Recent fabrication techniques (such as spin coating, blade coating, and slot-die coating) have boosted perovskite solar cell power conversion efficiency (PCE) to record levels but face limitations in large-area manufacturing, deposition on complex or curved surfaces, and in-situ fabrication. Spray coating advantages and challenges In contrast, spray coating is a non-contact, rapid, scalable solution-processing technique compatible with three-dimensional (3D) and complex substrates—ideal for building integrated photovoltaics, vehicular optoelectronics, and non-planar devices. However, the complex crystallization kinetics of perovskite precursor droplets during spray coating create high defect densities.

Artfight2025 Crystal Trepid

Behold! Shy Shiny Trepid. I felt the dark full would work really well to make the crystal highlights pop. Definitely struggled with the legs and paws, anthro characters are very fun to draw, but I definitely need more practice. Character By SoulRockMartin

IT WORKED!!!!

Crystallized Play-doh. I thought it looked a bit like rock strata, so I took a picture.
