Time crystals exhibit perpetual motion-like behavior when separated from external energy input, but scientists found a way to ...

A glittering hunk of crystal gets its iridescence from a highly regular atomic structure. Frank Wilczek, the 2012 Nobel ...

Crystals might look simple, but their growth tells a far more complex and fascinating story. From grains of salt to diamonds, crystals form when particles lock into repeating patterns. For many years, ...

If you think of a single atom as a grain of sand, then a wavelength of visible light—which is a thousand times larger than ...

A team of UC Riverside engineers has discovered why a key solid-state battery material stays remarkably cool during operation ...

Gibaldi and his colleagues have since analysed several open-access MOF databases commonly used for machine learning and found ...

Crystals reveal the hidden geometry of molecules to the naked eye. Scientists use crystals to figure out the atomic structure of new materials, but many materials can't be grown large enough. Now, a ...

In 1912, scientists invented X-ray crystallography and revealed a crystal’s atomic structure for the first time Tess Joosse Humans have marveled at crystals for millennia. Viridescent emerald, rich ...

Researchers at the Nano Life Science Institute (WPI-NanoLSI), Kanazawa University, report in the Journal of the American Chemical Societythe use of three-dimensional atomic force microscopy (AFM) and ...

Researchers have now visualized the molecular structure of the LAG3 protein. They describe the crystal structure of LAG3 and how it interacts with molecules produced by cancer cells. Immune checkpoint ...
