Is it possible to grow crystals of uranium metal as is done with tin or silver? If so, how?

[rquote=529907&tid=88482&author=Ph ]Yes, just do things slooowly, for
example cool liquid U slooowly, or slooowly vaporize and condense (make it vaporize at minimum temperature possible to achieve maximum size crystals),
like days to months, depending on wanted size, there is nothing unusual about U except radiation, and there are crystals of most metals on wikipedia.
Uranium is exception. Vapor method will need extremely low pressures but much lower heating unlike melting method. I performed thorough uranium
crystal images search on whole www, and could not find any picture. Your question is interesting and insane.

I was thinking displacing from solution, rather than phase change, do to my lack of high temperature equipment. And the lack of info makes the idea
more appealing.

[rquote=529911&tid=88482&author=Ph]You quoted me before i made edit, so
your quote is now damaged, LOL.
So that is why there are so many damaged pages on SM. 
Maybe...
Well, solution method sounds safer, easier, but maybe it can't be reduced so easily, maybe complicated organic chemicals are needed...
Oh, and smiley is appearing whenever I edit something except when bbcode is off, but then i can't put my own emoticon. And when somebody quotes me
there are 2 smileys.
Like it's smiley philosophy instead of doctor philosophy, first time that website is trolling.
