A new method of rapid crystal growth from a thin solution film has been proposed, in which crystals have been grown from a soap liquid film held with a thin steel loop. Crystal nucleation site and movement of crystals grown in the film can be compared with the experiments in a Space Shuttle done by Donn Petitt. It is interesting to note that nucleation in microgravity takes place mostly on the surface of the metal loop due to heterogeneous nucleation and then these crystals move toward the center of the loop with the help of Marangoni convection. Whereas, under normal gravity, crystal nucleation takes place at the middle of the liquid film and then these crystals move radially towards outside.
