Owing to the many different ways atoms can be arranged within the material, ice can exist in many more forms than what’s known as ice I, the type we’re all familiar with. Scientists have actually ...
Crystals -- from sugar and table salt to snowflakes and diamonds -- don't always grow in a straightforward way. Researchers have now captured this journey from amorphous blob to orderly structures. In ...
By forcing crystal structures to compete, scientists uncovered a new way to make magnetism twist. Florida State University scientists have developed a new crystalline material whose magnetic behavior ...
Crystal Structure of Cubic Garnet-Type (IMAGE) Toyohashi University of Technology (TUT) Caption Fig. 1 shows crystal structure of cubic garnet-type Li7La3Zr2O12 (LLZO, left) and temperature dependence ...
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 ...
Crystals—from sugar and table salt to snowflakes and diamonds—don’t always grow in a straightforward way. New York University researchers have captured this journey from amorphous blob to orderly ...
