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 new chip-making technique exploits a material's crystal structure to create nanoscale patterns at room temperature directly onto hard materials used in devices, including silica. The method could ...

Before trinitite, the only known naturally formed quasicrystal came from meteorite fragments, likely produced during a ...

A newly identified crystal hidden inside debris from the 1945 Trinity test reveals how nuclear explosions can create ...

On target A new method for precisely moving columns of individual atoms within a material could give rise to exotic quantum ...

Atomic bomb explosions create extreme conditions. Italian researchers have discovered an unusual material created by them.

Sub-5-nm gold antennas match the scale of 2D semiconductors, concentrating light where atomically thin materials can convert ...

The discovery from the Trinity nuclear test site shows how extreme conditions can result in materials never before seen in ...

Every text message, photograph, and saved file still comes down to a simple bargain: information is stored as either 0 or 1.

Scientists have discovered a unique, never-before-seen 'ox blood' crystal formed by the extreme heat and pressure of the ...
