A new chip-making technique exploits a material's crystal structure to create nanoscale patterns at room temperature directly ...
Within a crystal's atomic structure, tiny atomic-scale flaws will naturally occur where electrons can become trapped. These defects have emerged as one of the leading platforms for quantum information ...
A team from Vienna and Frankfurt has found a formula describing a strange phenomenon: Space and time can form a kind of "crystal" that may turn into a black hole. The results are described in Physical ...
Nearly 80 years after the event, trinitite still has the power to amaze.
Scientists have revealed something within a trinitite crystal formed during a 1945 nuclear blast that has never been seen ...
Researchers have recently found a new way to summon useful structures in magnetic materials using light, heat, and electric ...
For more than 100 years, scientists have been using X-ray crystallography to determine the structure of crystalline materials such as metals, rocks, and ceramics. This technique works best when the ...
Crystal polymorphism is critically important in the fields of pharmaceuticals and materials science. For instance, a metastable polymorph of an active pharmaceutical ingredient may benefit from ...
