Crystal structure prediction is, after years of hard work by many, many groups, finally reaching the point where it’s going ...

Over on ScienceDaily we learn that an international team of scientists have turned a common semiconductor germanium into a superconductor. Researchers have been able to make the semiconductor ...

Physicists are now watching matter behave in a way that defies everyday intuition, with atoms and even light itself arranging ...

Duplicates of crystal structures are flooding databases, implicating repositories hosting organic, inorganic, and ...

If quantum computing is going to become an every-day reality, we need better superconducting thin films, the hardware that ...

The new method can determine crystal structures underlying experimental data thus far difficult to analyze. A joint research team led by Yuuki Kubo and Shiji Tsuneyuki of the University of Tokyo has ...

Rice University postdoctoral research associate Jianwei Huang with the laboratory apparatus he used to conduct angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy experiments on a copper-vanadium alloy. The ...

A dissertation study at the University of Jyväskylä (Finland) developed two-dimensional fishnet-like structures from DNA ...

This picture shows the crystal structure of the superconducting film in this study. The Cooper pairs are shown as balls with paired opposite arrows in it. The Cooper pairing strength is stronger at ...
