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 ...

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

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—a breakthrough that could help make the next generation of lithium ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) The petrochemical industry relies on separating chemicals that differ by just fractions of a nanometer in size. Methanol must be purified from similarly-sized molecules in the ...
