A setback in growing light-responsive crystals led UB chemist Jason Benedict and his team to a novel method for mapping ...

A team of researchers at Duke University and their collaborators have uncovered the atomic mechanisms that make a class of compounds called argyrodites attractive candidates for both solid-state ...

The ability to predict crystal structures is a key part of the design of new materials. New research shows that a mathematical algorithm can guarantee to predict the structure of any material just ...

Mesmerizing videos offer a new look at the ways crystals form. The real-time clips, described March 30 in Nature Nanotechnology, show closeup views of microscopic gold particles tumbling, sliding and ...

(Nanowerk News) For more than 100 years, scientists have been using X-ray crystallography to determine the structure of crystalline materials such as metals, rocks, and ceramics. This technique works ...

When scientists study how materials behave under extreme conditions, they typically examine what happens under compression. But what occurs when you pull matter apart in all directions simultaneously?

Using artificial intelligence to create new things is all the rage right now. Whether you want text, computer code, or images, there are uncountable generative AI models that can oblige. Google ...

“Reactive Noble-Gas Compounds Explored by 3D Electron Diffraction: XeF 2 −MnF 4 Adducts and a Facile Sample Handling Procedure” Since Bartlett’s discovery, which is commemorated with an International ...

Researchers have uncovered the atomic mechanisms that make a class of compounds called argyrodites attractive candidates for both solid-state battery electrolytes and thermoelectric energy converters.
