Students are introduced to the idea that matter is composed of atoms and molecules that are attracted to each other and in constant motion. Students explore the attractions and motion of atoms and ...

The atoms of a solid are strongly attracted to each other. Solids keep their shape because of these strong attractions. The atoms vibrate but do not move past each other.

The Solid State Chemistry Group is one of the RSC's many Interest Groups. The Interest Groups are member driven groups which exist to benefit RSC members, and the wider chemical science community, in ...

This course is an introductory course to materials and solid-state chemistry for graduate students. Topics covered include the electronic and optical properties of solids, the properties of metals and ...

Curiosity about a mistake that left tiny dots on a germanium wafer with evaporated metal films led to the discovery of beautiful spiral patterns etched on the surface of the semiconductor by a ...

With the same battery size and same weight, the solid-state chemistry is expected to deliver 25% more range on the prototype EQS.

The rate of a chemical reaction can be increased by using smaller solid particles which increases the surface area of a solid reactant. This is done by cutting the substance into small pieces ...
