Waves of light and sound interact to drive electronic and structural changes in a perovskite crystal. At the atomic scale, ...
BUFFALO, N.Y. — University at Buffalo chemist Jason Benedict and his team spent years developing photoswitchable crystals. Every crystal’s shape is a mirror of the internal arrangement of their ...
Using finely tuned nanoscale building blocks, researchers from Brown University and the University of Michigan College of ...
Crystal polymorphism is critically important in the fields of pharmaceuticals and materials science. For instance, a metastable polymorph of an active pharmaceutical ingredient may benefit from ...
Microscopic black holes have long hovered at the edge of theory, forming only in exquisitely balanced states. Now physicists ...
A team of researchers has done something metallurgists have talked about for decades but never pulled off: they froze a ...
Here’s what you’ll learn when you read this story: The 1945 Trinity nuclear test fused desert sand and bomb-tower materials into trinitite—a glassy substance unlike anything humans had created before.
One longstanding problem has sidelined life-saving drugs, stalled next-generation batteries, and kept archaeologists from identifying the origins of ancient artifacts. For more than 100 years, ...
Duplicates of crystal structures are flooding databases, implicating repositories hosting organic, inorganic, and computer-generated crystals. The issue raises questions about curation practices at ...
UB chemist Jason Benedict and his team spent years developing photoswitchable crystals. Every crystal’s shape is a mirror of the internal arrangement of their molecules, but the molecules in ...
