In some solid materials under specific conditions, mutual Coulomb interactions shape electrons into many-body correlated states, such as Wigner crystals, which are essentially solids made of electrons ...

For many decades, the method to obtain atomic-level descriptions of chemical compounds and materials—be it a drug, a catalyst ...

Matlantis CSP has already produced early results across multiple systems—oxides, alloys, and phosphides—discovering more than 10 previously unknown stable crystals. In the Ga–Au–Ca system, it ...

A study shows that polarons can host stable atomic distortion patterns, reshaping how charge and energy move in materials ...

When materials become just one atom thick, melting no longer follows the familiar rules. Instead of jumping straight from solid to liquid, an unusual in-between state emerges, where atomic positions ...

A new computational framework maps 3D atomic positions in amorphous materials, achieving full accuracy for silica using ...

Researchers at the California NanoSystems Institute at UCLA published a step-by-step framework for determining the ...

For the first time ICFO and UAB researchers have directly imaged a spin-orbit-coupled supersolid. The team has observed quantum fluids of atoms ...

Inside the cores of ice giant planets, the pressure and temperature are so extreme that the water residing there transitions ...

DIAMOND is generally thought to be one of the most perfect crystals occurring naturally: its atomic structure was first investigated in the very early days of X-ray crystal analysis. It turned out ...

Water doesn’t behave the same way in a glass as it does as ice in your freezer. When water is heated to several thousand ...
