Florida State University scientists have engineered a new crystal that forces atomic magnets to swirl into complex, repeating patterns. The effect comes from mixing two nearly identical compounds ...
Researchers at Chonnam National University in South Korea deposited a germanium oxide layer using vapor processing at the rear contact interface of thin film tin monsulfide (SnS) solar cells to ...
Duplicates of crystal structures are flooding databases, implicating repositories hosting organic, inorganic, and computer-generated crystals. The issue raises questions about curation practices at ...
AUSTIN (KXAN) — A ray of light may be key to fighting cancer. Researchers with the University of Texas and University of Porto in Portugal have revealed a new tool in the healthcare battle: LEDs and ...
The brilliantly shiny diamond is more than just pretty; it's one of the hardest minerals on Earth, with a name derived from the Greek word adámas, meaning unbreakable. Scientists have now engineered a ...
Although occupation of dodecahedral cages by TBAB had not been previously reported, it was found that utilizing dodecahedral cages allows for higher packing density of TBAB. The results were shared in ...
In a recent article published in the journal Nano Macro Small, researchers explored the synthesis of cobalt-tin (Co-Sn) sulfides to enhance the performance and stability of sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) ...
In April 1982, Prof. Dan Shechtman of the Technion–Israel Institute of Technology made the discovery that would later earn him the 2011 Nobel Prize in Chemistry: the quasiperiodic crystal. According ...
In 2022, a study revealed that about 800 papers published in crystallography and exotic-chemistry journals originated from a paper mill. At the time, popular scientific sleuth David Bimler noted in ...
