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

The inside of giant planets can reach pressures more than one million times the Earth's atmosphere. As a result of that intense pressure, materials can adopt unexpected structures and properties.

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 ...

Human serum albumin (HSA) is the most abundant protein in the circulatory system. Its principal function is to transport fatty acids, but it is also capable of binding a great variety of metabolites ...

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

Research has revealed how minute structural modifications in advanced perovskite materials critically influence their ...

When ultraviolet light hits ice—whether in Earth's polar regions or on distant planets—it triggers a cascade of chemical ...

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

A University of Cambridge-led team of researchers have demonstrated precisely controlled layer-by-layer epitaxial vapor growth of two-dimensional halide perovskite films in an industrially compatible ...

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 ...
