The advantages of cheaper, faster and more precise crystal formation are clear to see. Crystals are used everywhere, from ...
Crystal engineering harnesses the principles of supramolecular chemistry to design and synthesise novel crystalline architectures with tailored properties. By exploiting specific intermolecular ...
Researchers have discovered that quantum interactions between particles can be used to create time crystals with their own ...
From the delicate patterns of snowflakes to the robust structure of diamonds, crystals are all around us. For a long time, scientists believed their growth followed a predictable path. But now, ...
In nature and technology, crystallization plays a pivotal role, from forming snowflakes and pharmaceuticals to creating advanced batteries and desalination membranes. Despite its importance, ...
Physicists have uncovered the fascinating world of “rotating crystals” — solids made of spinning particles that behave in ...
Scientists at TU Wien have uncovered that quantum correlations can stabilize time crystals—structures that oscillate in time without an external driver. Contrary to previous assumptions, quantum ...
The development involved hitting gold nanoparticles with just one laser pulse. Researchers at Michigan State University (MSU) ...
Peter Vekilov, University of Houston Frank Worley Professor of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering, has published that incorporation of molecules into crystals occurs in two steps, divided by an ...
A glittering hunk of crystal gets its iridescence from a highly regular atomic structure. Frank Wilczek, the 2012 Nobel ...
