Physicists have unveiled a new type of time crystal that is governed by quantum behavior that conflicts with classical models ...

Crystals might look simple, but their growth tells a far more complex and fascinating story. From grains of salt to diamonds, crystals form when particles lock into repeating patterns. For many years, ...

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 ...

Most people associate crystals with semi-transparent stones with therapeutic properties or suncatchers that operate as rainbow prisms. But for scientists and engineers, a crystal is a type of material ...

Scientists from Russia found a way of improving the crystal structure prediction algorithms, making the discovery of new compounds multiple times faster. The results of the study were published in ...

Researchers from the Shanghai Advanced Research Institute (SARI) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences have proposed a novel "bilayer" structure composing of different transition metal oxide (TMO) thin ...
