Owing to the many different ways atoms can be arranged within the material, ice can exist in many more forms than what’s known as ice I, the type we’re all familiar with. Scientists have actually ...

p>Through a simple process of heating and cooling, New York University researchers have created a new crystal form of deltamethrin--a common insecticide used to control malaria--resulting in an ...

A newly identified crystalline polymorph (form II) of the insecticide deltamethrin, a leading compound for treating homes in areas where malaria is endemic, is significantly more efficient than the ...

Crystals—from sugar and table salt to snowflakes and diamonds—don’t always grow in a straightforward way. New York University researchers have captured this journey from amorphous blob to orderly ...

Researchers at ETH Zurich have created a crystal made entirely of electrons. The structures have been theorized for decades, but this marks the first time they’ve been experimentally confirmed in the ...

A new crystal form of Spice that left 10 people in hospital is 20 times more potent than previous strains, it has emerged. Dr Oliver Sutcliffe, the academic who tested samples of the substance, said ...
