Florida State University scientists have engineered a new crystal that forces atomic magnets to swirl into complex, repeating ...

Duplicates of crystal structures are flooding databases, implicating repositories hosting organic, inorganic, and computer-generated crystals. The issue raises questions about curation practices at ...

‘Crystal structure prediction is, after years of hard work by many, many groups, finally reaching the point where it’s going to have large impacts in organic materials.’ So says Gregory Beran, at the ...

#idea #DIY #Tutorial #LanAnhHandmade #jewelry You can use any wire you have. Small wire will be easier to manipulate but the strength will not be as high. You can resize or combine the beads as you ...

#idea #DIY #Tutorial #LanAnhHandmade #jewelry This technique I used to do 6 years ago: This time I changed it up a bit by combining it with crystal beads I have tried with 2 different sizes of beads ...

Imagine a clock that doesn’t have electricity, but its hands and gears spin on their own for all eternity. In a new study, physicists at CU Boulder have used liquid crystals, the same materials that ...

The brilliantly shiny diamond is more than just pretty; it's one of the hardest minerals on Earth, with a name derived from the Greek word adámas, meaning unbreakable. Scientists have now engineered a ...

In April 1982, Prof. Dan Shechtman of the Technion–Israel Institute of Technology made the discovery that would later earn him the 2011 Nobel Prize in Chemistry: the quasiperiodic crystal. According ...

The new method can determine crystal structures underlying experimental data thus far difficult to analyze. A joint research team led by Yuuki Kubo and Shiji Tsuneyuki of the University of Tokyo has ...

When scientists study how materials behave under extreme conditions, they typically examine what happens under compression. But what occurs when you pull matter apart in all directions simultaneously?
