Scientists have redefined the state-of-the-art in modeling and predicting the free energy of crystals. Their work shows that crystal form stability under real-world temperature and humidity conditions ...
Researchers have successfully grown platinum crystals in liquid metal, using a powerful X-ray technique giving rare insight ...
Crystals -- from sugar and table salt to snowflakes and diamonds -- don't always grow in a straightforward way. Researchers have now captured this journey from amorphous blob to orderly structures. In ...
Owing to the many different ways atoms can be arranged within the material, ice can exist in many more forms than what’s known as ice I, the type we’re all familiar with. Scientists have actually ...
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, Vol. 74, No. 3 (Mar., 1977), pp. 1037-1041 (5 pages) A new crystal form (III) of tobacco leaf ribulosebisphosphate ...
Physicists have created a visible, self-sustaining “time crystal” using swirling liquid crystals that move in endlessly repeating patterns when illuminated. Imagine a clock that runs forever without ...
Every so often, physics delivers a discovery that feels as if it has stepped straight out of science fiction. The latest ...
Crystals—from sugar and table salt to snowflakes and diamonds—don’t always grow in a straightforward way. New York University researchers have captured this journey from amorphous blob to orderly ...
