Researchers have used artificial intelligence to solve a difficult problem in crystal science. Seeking to understand why crystals develop tiny defects called dislocations, the researchers discovered ...

Researchers recently succeeded in producing a highly durable time crystal that lived millions of times longer than could be shown in previous experiments. By doing so, they have corroborated an ...

Beautiful lights are emitted by peeling, twisting, rubbing and flicking the amorphous copper complex films. These materials hold potential in industrial engineering and safety applications. In the 17 ...
