Snow crystals have a wide variety of structures, and some crystals have beautiful structures that look like works of art. A research team at the University of New South Wales has succeeded in creating ...

Until the late 1980s, touch-screen technology was considered pretty flaky and imprecise, but in the era of smartphones and tablets, fast, accurate capacitive touchscreens are everywhere. Such screens ...

A recent study has measured the internal quantum efficiency (IQE) of Zinc-Oxide (ZnO) crystals in both the light-emitting process and non-light-emitting process. A recent study has measured the ...

Scientists uncovered a quantum spin liquid, a state of matter that may have applications for quantum information.

To NATURE of Jan. 12, 1929, p. 49, Paul A. Anderson communicated some measurements of his on the potentials of single crystals of zinc. The investigation of a possible change of the electrochemical ...

A new translucent crystal, made from gold, zinc, and cyanide, does something very few materials do: Instead of shrinking under pressure, it expands. Most ordinary materials contract when pressure is ...

Impact of zinc on inhibition or promotion of kidney stones gives rise to two conflicting theories, as per a study at the University of Houston, reported in the America Chemical Society journal Crystal ...

A funny thing happened on the way to discovering how zinc impacts kidney stones - two different theories emerged, each contradicting the other. One: Zinc stops the growth of the calcium oxalate ...

This is a preview. Log in through your library . Abstract Zinc whiskers and platelets with their largest faces in the basal plane and thin enough (∼ 1/2 μ) to be transparent to 100 kV electrons were ...

The nutrient zinc can be both helpful and harmful when it comes to kidney stones, a new study finds. There have been two conflicting theories about the link between zinc and kidney stones. One ...
