The inside of giant planets can reach pressures more than one million times the Earth's atmosphere. As a result of that ...

For nearly a century, scientists have understood how crystalline materials—such as metals and semiconductors—bend without ...

Researchers at the University of Chicago Pritzker School of Molecular Engineering (UChicago PME) and the Abdus Salam ...

WE have been making a study of the crystal structure of d-tartaric acid by X-ray analysis. This is a classical substance which presents some little difficulty in complete analysis owing to its low ...

The experiments were led by Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) in collaboration with other institutions. By ...

THE structure of the coronene molecule, C 24 H 12, is of particular interest in view of its peculiarly high symmetry (Fig. 1). With regard to electron distribution and bond-lengths, the structure ...

A new study reveals that PtBi2, an otherwise ordinary-looking crystal, hosts an entirely new form of superconductivity ...

Gold has a reputation for being one of the most stable, predictable elements in the periodic table, but under crushing ...

Matter with “forbidden” symmetries was once thought to be confined to lab experiments, but is now being found in some of the ...

Simulations comparing aluminum oxide models with differing amounts of corrugation demonstrate the significance of hydroxyl ...

The structural distortion in DJ-phase perovskites breaks the microscopic symmetry of the crystal, enabling it to emit ...

Scientists have developed a new material that converts motion into electricity (piezoelectricity) with greater efficiency and ...
